PS3 PS3 fat turning off blinking red light

IF the problem is temp related & your console is overheating, that's a problem you must take care of as the priority anyway.
It could also be that the kernel panics & the console shuts down.
That could be caused by a number of things such as (but not limited to):
1. Hdd failure (try another hdd)
2. Hdd errors (scan disk for error in recovery mode)
3. Mounted game issue, whether it's ISO or legacy JB folder format, dump from disc again using a different tool & a different storage device for destination.


You might also try mounting it from an external USB drive, big iso files will need to be stored on a ntfs partition.
It's better to mount your games from USB storage anyway, it means less work/stress for your internal hdd when you play a mounted a game.

Well if you can no longer start the console, you won't be able to tell exactly what's wrong unless you query the syscon.
Check the dedicated thread for ylod fault finding with syscon.
