It first started about a few weeks ago when trying to play the first Star Trek: TNG season on blu-ray. the screen would just freeze. I thought maybe it was the current disc I had playing, so tested another one in the season, the second episode in, that froze too.
I then thought maybe it might be the software, maybe a bad box set. Although it never froze in the same spot in the episodes. I could watch the same scene over again, and it would be fine, but then freeze in another part that was fine before. Very sporadic.
I did a file system check through safe mode, it indicated that I have a corrupted file. So I did a system restore (not reformat). When I ran the file system check again, still told me it was corrupted.
I decided to test another one of my blu-rays, this time I stuck in Supernatural S7, and about 40 minutes into the first disc it froze once again. This time when hitting stop and exiting out to the desktop, almost all of my icons on the screen were spinning (very similar to when your mouse cursor turns into that thinking, spinning circle on your desktop). I then decided to just shut down the PS3. When I went to "Turn off System" and hit 'X', it just locked. I had to go and power down the system by just continuing to press down the power button.
At this time, I called Sony to see what their take was on it, and if they had run into others with a similar issue. He told me the 'corrupted message' will pop up every time, no matter how many times you restore or even if you reformat. I thought that a bit odd, but didn't know what else to tell him.
What he did say, he didn't feel it was my hard drive, as locking up on blu-rays is not an indicator of a bad hard drive. So he did not believe doing a reformat would help. He felt it could be either the disc player or my processor, but there could be other factors that may be involved as well. He did recommend that I send it in, which I did set up.
Now just waiting on the box from Sony.
Thanks to those who have taken the time to read. If you have read this, my question to you is, has this happened to you, and if so, what was the issue you found causing this? And what was your solution?
