Question from JesusFreak1990
Asked on: 2/28 1:26PMA long while back when I was playing Socom: Fireteam Bravo 2, there was a part of the game where as this bridge explodes, my PSP would freeze then turn itself off after about 20-30 seconds. I eventually found that, for some weird reason, if I looked away from the bridge as it exploded, the game kept playing.
I figured maybe it was just a glitch in the game at that part.
Then later I found this freeze and shutdown glitch to happen on the online mode every once in a while.
Now I have had this problem on several other games as well, such as Thrillville: Off The Rails and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
Anyone know why this problem is happening?

In Response to DELIRIUM-XY's post: One time a friend knocked my PSP out of my hand, and it hit the carpet, making my game pop out. But that was it, and my PSP worked fine after that.
But this problem was happening way before that. And as I said, it only happens with certain games. The majortiy of my games never make my PSP do this.

In response to DaAmazinStapler's post: No, I forgot to mention that it also happend with a demo before, so I don't think it has anything to do with my UMD laser.

jackson1000, it is not a scratched game problem, all of my games are in great condition, this is just a problem that happens with certain games, even some demos I download, and those are not even on UMD obviously.

statusYeah this has happened to me too (not online) and i have no idea what's causing it. Maybe we can help each other figure out? Did you drop your psp a lot or something?
I say it would be your lens on the UMD laser, take a qtip of rubbing alchohol and rub it on the eye. It's only happening with UMDs right?
I know what it is. Almost completely positive. Because it happened in my Thrillville. Sometimes looking away is just qoincadence (<-- dont know how to spell :D) Point: Something is either dusty inside of your UMD slot and you should do what DaAmazinStapler said and take a delicate peice of material to dust off any bacteria that might disturb the performance of your game. Just be sure not to accidentaly drop or brake your PSP in a severe or slight way, causing your game to not only freeze and randomly shut down, but demolish completely.
I have the same problem too, but ONLY when playing field commander, which also has large explosions. the UMD disc is pretty scratched, but i'm not sure if thats the case...
if you go to the developers treehouse in size maters and use the watering thing, it will freeze the game. this probably isnt your freezing problem, though. the UMD my be severely scratched or the lens could be damaged.
Tru it mught be the umd that has a problem, that happened to me, and i found out the problem, it was that my PSP needed an update!
That means ur game is scratched
My game has a similar but ANNOYING glitch exactly like yours. It is not the game, it is your PSP. I can never continue
most games when this happens! I always end up selling them, but they are never scratched. And TODAY I found
out it was my PSP. You should sell yours and get the PSPgo, like I'm selling MY PSP, and getting the PSPgo.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I'm not sorry, though, I'm MAD. So sell your PSP, and get a
BRAND NEW one, of course. The new ones go for over $200.00, but it's okay.
UPDATE: I FOUND THE ANSWER!!
---------------------------------------------------
I just experimented with my PSP, trying to find out the problem, and it needed an UPDATE! So DON'T sell your PSP,
just connect it to the Internet and update it! I FINALLY completed the game today, and it was awesome!
It's probably another system from sony that when you have to update ur psp it starts freezing, or the game has some sort of glitch, the same thing happened with my brother but when he updated it it stopped.
ok now i got a question my psp was working fine until yesterday. When i turned it on everything went fine but when it got to the main screen for the game it froze i couldnt hit start x or anything to select what i want and its never done this before and i dont want to spend 150 bloody dollars to get a new one anybody know whats goin on
I had the same thing happen on my psp3000 I even updated to 6.10 but this shutdown problem just happend on my music wich i downloaded using media go and it makes me mad because I just bought the dang thing yesterday for my birthday brand new
The games that you use is not compatible with your psp, this also happened to me :(
I have this problem before.My friend say its the memory stick. Get your memory stick from your psp if there is a red line in it. If there is I recommend buying a new one with out a redline or with a black or white line.Note:not only umds have this problem even downloaded games like mine.
