Sorry to start off everything here on a bad note.. but I have a problem w/ my PS2.. and hopefully you guys can give me some insight on it.

I was playing DOA 2: HARDCORE when the system halted.. it was during a loading time between a battle (the screen was black at the time) and the disc was being read reptitively and after the time period was well past due, I had to reset... everything works fine now.  Can anybody give me some info on this? Is my PS2 on of the "lower-quality" ones? Any insight would be most helpful, thanks :)

HEAT!!!!!!

Do you leave you system plug in the wall all the time? Even if your is system off, is getting pre heated. I use a surge on my system so I just turn off the surge the system will have zeo power. No pre heat. It will stay cooler that way. Oh, clean off the dust on the front and back vents of the system also. It will let more of the air blow more in and out. I had lots of dust trap in the vent so I use a paint brush to clean it. Do this cleaning about 2 time a month. It works! :)

hey welcome

and i have had no problems with my PS2 - but it sounds like you have no real problem if it isn\'t recurring

if it keeps on happening then you might consider a solution but other than that i don\'t think you have a problem

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I agree that since the problem isn\'t recurring your PS2 is fine. I mean one disc error here and there is no reason to panic.

If it does keep happening though on a regular basis then you will need to give Sony a call. However im sure theres nothing you need to worry about.

Welcome aboard dood :D

Don\'t worry about the occasional lockup, these things happen sometimes. if it was happening frequently then i\'d probably
have someone look at it.

Thanks for the encouragement guys... I try my best to keep my PS2 in perfect shape cuz I\'m just anal like that :)

BillyGunn - Sure you can call me GG, I prefer you call me GG :)

Pstwo - that sounds like a good idea.. sure it will be a pain putting the PS2 in stand-by, turning off the switch in the back, then turning off the surge everytime, but I\'m sure it\'s good practice :) (I usually leave my PS2 on standby through out the day which is usually around 8 hours, I\'ll play off and on, I normally turn it off when I go to sleep.

Thanks again

For the record you can and should leave your PS2 in sleep mode.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO POWER OFF AFTER PLAYING LIKE PSTWO SUGGWSTS !!!!!

I have had 3 games freeze on me andits more attributed to game code then anything else. Don\'t worry about it unless it happens more often and regularly

Right. Though, if you are paranoid or something, you can turn it off and unplug it. Thats what I do. But, sleep mode is perfect. It is there for a reason.

GG, you have received some fine advice here, so all I want to do is offer my additional "welcome" to the fray.  There\'s likely no reason to be alarmed about your PS2 (unless, as was previously pointed out, it keeps recurring).

Have fun!  Game on!

GG, keep up that studying.  Your brain will get you more games than you can imagine in the long run!  I\'m a 35 year old computer systems support desk manager & training supervisor.  I love the work and I love that its paycheck lets me play the games I like to play.

Also good that I have a wife that appreciates that I like games, too.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
