They just suddenly happen. They come out of nowhere like Ninjas.

before mine got the YLOD my ps3 kept freezing while playing CODWAW online so the only way i could reset the damn thing was to hold the power button. my ps3 actually froze a lot..then when i did the hard reset my ps3 wouldn't recognize the game disc and then i reset normally but then it froze on the opening screen and then yellow lights : (

Mine came out of nowhere aswell. There's nothing to look for and nothing to expect. The only time you know it's happened is if your system shuts down by itself with three beeps and a red light flashing. Trying to power up again is when the yellow light shows up, then it instantly powers down.

1.) When starting up you get a message stating that the disc isn't readable.
2.) The console freezes up.
3.) The sound freezes or you hear static sounds.

4.) There are problems with the graphics. You see strange effects such as pin stripes, checker patterns, or anything that's obviously not part of the game.

5.) The only thing that works is the off button.

6.) slow as 30fps

7.) hearing the fan

Well I got the screen freeze, white squares, and green lines all over my tv of death just recently. I had to cancel my pre order of skyrim, trade in $40 worth of games, and pitch in more money to buy a new system............So I dont have skyrim anymore.........

Anyways I guess my GPU went out or something.

i think YLoD (and RRoD) is a built in feature lol. they occur almost only to the older versions, forcing us to buy the slims.

i have a slim and hoping it never gets YLoD, i want my systems to last for years like practically all of my nintendo consoles, ps1/2 (somewhat)
