PS3 Issues, Emulation Wins
#6
Nice! Not too surprising though, that original drive might be almost 10 years old by now (check the label). I also remembered that I had a corrupted game once and that cause a lock up and three beeps shutdown. A bad drive could feed bad data or time out and have the same effective symptoms.

I run an old and busted 128 GB SSD in my PS3, and even if that SSD is garbage by modern computer standards it does wonders for the overall performance. It could be worth the upgrade, just get the cheapest oldest model you can find, it doesn't matter for this purpose.
Asus N55SF, i7-2670QM (~2,8 ghz under typical load), GeForce GT 555M (only OpenGL)
