PS3 Shuts off randomly?

My PS3 started shutting off randomly a few days back. It started when I was downloading a few things of PSN. I watched a trailer I had just downloaded and when I exited out, it just shut off. I figured it might be overheating since it was doing so much work, but it keeps doing it. One time, it did it 3 seconds after I turned it on. The weird thing is that when it shuts off, the indicator lights beneath the power button go off too. I rarely ever turn off my system from the back because I like to use the controller to do it. But because there are no indicator lights, I have to reset the systems power button on the back to start it again. I have a spare PS3 that I can use for parts if I have to replace something (lucky me), but I still don't know what the issue is.

Oh, also it turns off every time i finish saving a game I am playing. (Right now playing INfamous. Turns off immediately after saving.) So I am thinking it might be a hard drive issue.

Ok, additional information. I have now tried swapping PSU (Power Supply Units), and changing the hard drive and still no change. I have tried to update the Firmware via internet AND USB port multiple times, but to no avail. I am completely out of ideas.

Have you solved the problem?

This is a problem that i have experianced whilst running Sonys Official Firmware 3.61. This is the firmware update that was released straight after the PSN outage.

The fix that sony have offered is the optional Firmware Update of 3.65.

I would suggest that you try 3.65 and see if it solves your random power off problems.

I did as you said as soon as I got home last night. I started the update and walked away, knowing that it would take some time. When I came back, the PS3 was off and there were no indicator lights. This morning, I turned it on and checked to see if an update was still available (to see if the update finished or not), and it still was. I presume what happened is that it shut off at the restart phase. I am attempting it again at the moment. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sure enough, there it goes again. Shutting off. I was reading something on here so I didn't see exactly where the percentage was, but it hadn't restarted yet. T_T

And even worse, now it won't even reset from the back! O_o

Perhaps, because I am fortunate enough to have a spare PS3, I should swap the power supplies?
