Huge Problem. Please Help!

Okay guys so here's the issue, I just bought Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (fun game by the way) and for some reason, my PS3 just shuts off randomly while playing. It has never done this before with any of my other games so I am wondering if my playstation is crapping out on me or if its because of the game for some reason. p.s. its the disc version of the game, not the download version.

On a side note, I also bought a dualshock 3 today after the game had updated so I am wondering if its because of the dualshock for some reason. Anyways, I really hope somebody could help me out.

Wow first time I hear this... well, read.

I saw the gt5 prologue die out at a forum like E3 (just in denmark).. however it was caged completely in with no option for it too cool down.. and it said "console overheated".. and it shortly after would shut down.

Not entirely sure what your issue is, it doesn't come with any notifications?

no notifications. the first couple of times it completely shut off, no lights on whatsoever but recently its just been going to the red light

Shortly before my brother's 60GB model died, it would randomly shut off by itself. It increasingly got worse and eventually ended up dying with COD4 trapped inside.

My brother-in-law works on electronics, so he opened it up and had a look. The power supply unit had gone bad in it. He purchased a new one off the net and was able to repair it.
