PS3 PS3 turning off during intense scenes/loading (5FFF)

I Bought a PS3 Super Slim CECH-4011B never opened no jailbroken 1 month ago and the console started to act up.

During this time my brother played the entire of MGS4 and Uncharted 1 without any problems and in the middle of Uncharted 2 the console turned off with 3 beeps, no warning or lights. The console restarted and got into xmb menu.

Some days after this I installed HEN and after that I was testing MGS4 and during the loading to enter the game it turned off without no beeps, no warnings and no lights.

The console still turns on normally and play games normally.

So today I opened the console to clean and to read the syscon. Got this:

>$ errlog
00000000
# CODE CLOCK
# A0805FFF 31543BC5
# FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

Also the PS3 was probably overheating before (I never had a ps3) because after cleaning the PS3 is way cooler than before. Also this is the first time I use the TTL to read a ps3 syscon so I basically can solder and that's it.

I read about the 5FFF and looks like CELL/RSX but can be shit with bricked jailbreak or something like that.
Any suggestions on what should I do? The only thing I can't do is reballing.

Thanks!

Haven't heard of a 5fff with the console running, my slim had that issue at boot because the syscon somehow unmarried from the cell and because of that the gameos system manager was failing some integrity checks, so I'm assuming the error is GameOS-triggered.

You might find something useful by watching southbridge UART while reproducing the bug, you can enable it by writing 2 to eeprom offset 0x48C02 (see https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SC_EEPROM for an explanation, maybe also write 3 to 0x48C11 for more boot logs but I don't think it'll do much in your case).

What I find odd is that the SC errlog doesn't show something like
Code:
# [SSM] Cond/Fatal received, msg=2649.
# [SSM] Fataldown Start.
# [SSM] Fataldown ok.
and instead looks like a regular shutdown.

does this southbridge work on 4200x 16gb emmc models
