Game turns on then shuts down - Sony Video Game Consoles & Games

hi Jeff.
not sure what console you are on about,but check this link might help you.
console turns on for 5 seconds then shuts down Google Search

It sounds like yellow light of death. If you answer yes to these questions then thats what it is. I have a step-by-step instructions on how to fix it.

1. When you turn your console on, when it turns off does it beep 2 to 3 times before shutting down?

2. When it does shut down right before it does pay attention to the lights, do you see a yellow on blink once for a split second?

3. Afte the console shuts completely off does the red light just sit there and blink?

It is all lost there is no reboot. Sorry.

let it cool dude somtimes ps3's need to cool down aswell.. for at least 12 hours turn it off if this helped please rep me ++ :)

it will not show anything. the power light is green.

try reseting your video settings by holding the on;off button for about 5 seconds when turning on . if this doesn't work, must be a problem with your hardware. then you should take the system to a support centre.

about the disk, have u tried to turn the system on by pushing directly the eject button ?

Press and hold the power button until it shuts down and then restart, that should clear the program freeze up.

You need to make sure you have updated the PS3 as well as the games. You said you wait until the game is done saving, well just to make sure, check the HDD light isn't flashing (writing information). Also you should not just shut down from the game, quit game then shut down the system. If you are shutting it down with the switch in the back, shut down "softly" (holding down the PS button and selecting shutdown) then turn off in the back.
