PS3 PS3 SHUTS OFF AND RED LIGHT STARTS BLINKING

I searched the whole internet and yet I couldn't find any problem that's exactly like mine.

My PS3 turns on just fine and I've never had any overheating warning nor the cooler sounding louder than it normally does, the PS3 looks perfect. BUT this issue seems unique, when I'm playing the games I had problems with, them being Persona 5 and Devil May Cry 4, the problem only occurs at the same spot, never sooner.

When I'm about to start DMC 4's first mission, when I click on "Power up" it just turns off and starts blinking the red light and what makes it weirder is that I can play DMC 4 normally but if I click on the Power Up option the PS3 turns off. When it comes to Persona 5, the problem only happens when I'm heading out the subway in the very beginning of the game.
I can play other games just fine. Diablo 3, Battlefield 3, Devil May Cry HD Collection and others.

Already tried:
- formatting the HDD and reinstalling the software
- rebuilding the database
- reinstalling affected games
- redownloading affected games from different sources
