#Ps3 auto turn off ps3
While the PS3 does automatically turn itself off if ran hot enough, it's worth noting that this does not happen until the operating temperature of the CPU or GPU reaches over 90 degrees Celcius which is not safe at all.

If you notice that the fans inside of your console run louder than usual, especially when the system isn't playing anything, then your system is most likely running at dangerous temperatures. Fan blowing louder than normal: Sony designed the PlayStation 3 to prioritize quietness during operation.This is worsened by the fact that Sony used very low quality thermal paste on both the CPU and GPU which in turn, increases internal operating temperatures. The YLoD most commonly affects all PS3 models and chech-20xxA / chech-20xxB slim models, due to the NEC/Tokin capacitors which quickly degrade when operated in hot conditions. Attempts to turn the system back on result in a YLoD, although sometimes the system will come back on. Usually what happens is that the console shuts itself off during gameplay, resulting in a blinking red light. If the problem is related to the power supply, the fan will not turn on and the green light will last only about a half a second. The light will remain blinking red until you touch the power button again, returning the console to a steady red standby light (or you can hit the main power switch).

The PS3 beeps 3 times and the yellow light turns blinking red. The fan and blue light turn off and the green light turns yellow for about a half-second. The green and or blue lights come on for around 1.6 seconds, and the fan turns on. A temporary fix for the YLoD is simply heating up the NEC/Tokin capacitors, which helps restore their original capacitive properties.įor a typical case of a YLoD, is caused by a motherboard failure, the following happens when you touch the power button:

The YLoD can usually be fixed in older PlayStation 3's that utilize NEC/Tokin capacitors by replacing them with tantalum capacitors. The NEC/Tokin capacitors were completely replaced by Sony in later slim and super slim models of the PlayStation 3 with much more reliable tantalum capacitors. The degradation of these capacitors are greatly sped up when they operate in hot conditions.

The usual cause for this light to appear is due to the NEC/Tokin capacitors on the motherboard degrading over time and no longer being able to provide enough power to the CPU or GPU. The Yellow Light of Death (often abbreviated as YLoD) is a common problem which affects all models of the PlayStation 3, more so the original fats models and early slim models (chech-20xxA and chech-20xxB to be exact). The light is only yellow for a brief moment.
