Indeedy i mentioned my conx as its not bad on paper and drops out aswell but placing that aside............ my system freezes for no apparent reason and more recently ive been getting chucked to the main menu.

how old is you're controller??? mine was doing that and i have a new one in reserve now its not a prob, i put it down to lag at first ........ i play lots of cod, hence i think my system is over heating also, when was the last time you hoovered out the vents??? if its older and now not covered split it and hoover the inside, use the guide in my thread for the "secret menu" and defrag the database.

I use the AV8R and it's not that old...when that happens again, I will switch to 6axis to see if the same...

I have not split it yet and afraid to do so like you...but eventually I might and I just recently cleaned and hoovered like you said.

In the secret menu...Is that the same as Database rebuild???

On another topic...on freezing as well...It is almost guaranteed that when I go to the profile menu and view the planes in the Hangar it will freeze no mater what...not so immediate a problem...but indicates there is a problem...any thoughts

First thing I would do is get your system out of that sweat box and give it some open air.

Then crack that puppy open and give it a good cleaning with some compressed air. Try to avoid blowing air into the BD drive.

If the slim cooling is designed like the fatty your fan may be preventing the PS3 from transferring heat because it is pushing against the exhaust.

The hangar is a known issue which, in my case, was fixed by turning off additional controllers and using a Dualshock.

No...that fan is sucking the heat expelled by the PS3 at the rear...that fan is blowing outward...

Have you tried it with the default controller settings?

This happened to someone a while ago.. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...hanger+freezes

It seems it was one of 2 things.

1 thing to try.
Make sure that your stick is assigned as controller 1 before you press start at the title screen.

1 other thing to try. If you have a 2nd user on your PS3, try it on that profile.
If the hanger works then you have a corrupt save file.
