This weekend I plan on tearing down my PS3, I have some decent thermal paste to add. So far I moved my machine to a different area and have play tested it. The temperature does have a correlation to why the machine starts acting up. I booted it up, and all my hdd games were scanned and appeared...

Off topic: I just wanted to say thanks Aldo for all your PS2-3 tools. They have helped me out more times than I can count. I do appreciate your work in making user friendly applications for the many years you have. Cheers brudda, next pint is on me.

So I now realize that some of these errors occur after the machine has heated up. I have my fan speed set to keep the machine at 140F. After an hour of playtime, I deactivated the dynamic fan control, and sure enough after twenty more minutes, I got the error on Deadpool. So if I simply assume...

The only way to not be a noob is to ask questions, gain answers, and in your case, you figured it out yourself. That's not something a noob would do, glad you got it to work out.

Correct, I was reading up on the beta of it just a few minutes ago. Thanks for the clarification and reply.

Hey I wanted to give a bug thanks to Evilnat for sorta helping me out of a bit of a jam. I was using a ps3 cheat engine, and starting getting massive game freezing, and then games would not load off a hdd. At that time, I was on 4.81 Rebug, with a 4.78 Cobra. I had to pull out my ps3's...

Understood. I pulled the internal hdd out, reformatted via pc, and installed evilnats 4.86 cfw. So far no issues, since no values are corrupted, and in the event the issue does occur again, I only have one more thought. And that is to replace the usb ports, as they could be malfunctioning. Glad...

And no sooner than I typed that, just about ten minutes ago, the error occurred again. I think my ports may be bad, I am pulling the hard drive out and reformatting it. If that doesn't work, then I have to replace the front ports. No idea what's causing this. I really believed fixing the system...

I hope the mods do not mind me double posting. I just wanted to say, I restarted the console in safe mode. Come to find out, my main system file was corrupted, due to all the freezing from using that blasted Artemis chest engine. Lesson learned, no more cheating for me. After repairing the...

Usually it's the dirty disk error. Again, I am getting this from games played through an external hard drive. I read that the PS3 ports can also be a issue, needing to be replaced. I though about reinstalling my firmware, as I want to upgrade it anyways. Perhaps I will simply format the internal...

Thank you for the reply. I do not think it is a incompatibility issue. I still wonder if my internal hard drive in the ps3 itself might be corrupt? Thus needing to be reformatted? Or me using Artemis as a cheat program could have corrupted internal memory values? Should I pull the internal PS3...

So here is my issue. I am running Firmware 4.81 with 7.31 Cobra I have been playing my backups via my 2TB external HDD, and in times past I used a 1TB drive also. Now, if I start a game, say Deadpool, or any game for that matter, it will either say the game data is corrupted, and needs to be...

Hope all is well, I have been a lurker for sometime, and this site has been a blessing to me. I have never been fond of introducing myself, as it takes time to really get to know someone. But I am thankful for the site, and thanks for all the many years of help. -DB
