urn off the PS3 by flipping the power switch on the back of the system.
Turn the power switch back to the "on" position.
Hold the power button while the PS3 is powering up until you hear three beeps. These signal that the PS3 has received the manual system reset command.
Prompt through the initial setup menu to continue resetting the PS3.
Select "Format" from the system menu to format and finish a complete system reset for the PS3.
Hard Reset procedure for the PS3 (as instructed by Sony CS).
Be sure to backup your settings/games saves by doing a System > Backup on your PS3 or you may lose your game saves! Also, this is a last resort procedure prior to exchanging/returning to sony.
1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.
2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.
3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn't detected after initial reset).
4. Restore your backup you made prior to doing factory/hard reset (optional, if you created a backup).
Hopefully this will solve your freezing problems.
