Oblivion for PS3 Crashes on Load

It can be nearly impossible to enjoy "Oblivion" for your PS3 if the disc is constantly crashing. The disc's constant crashing can stem from problems with either the disc or the PS3 console. Use troubleshooting techniques to determine the exact cause of the problem so you can determine the best way to fix it. If the problem is with your PS3 and it's still under warranty, you may qualify for free repair or a replacement console, depending on the nature of the problem.
  1. Disk Errors

    • "Oblivion" can fail to load or crash after it loads on your PS3 if the disc is physically damaged. Disc damage can include smudge marks, light scratches, accumulated dirt or cracks. If the disc has minor damage, try cleaning it. Use a microfiber towel and an electronics cleaner to gently remove any smudges or dirt and buff away light scratches and then try loading the disc on your PS3.

    Hardware Problems

    • Damage to the PS3 console may cause the disc to crash after loading. Test your console by trying to load another game disc that you know works. If the console crashes while using multiple discs that you know work, you may have a hardware issue. For example, the hard drive in your PS3 could have a faulty sector that's preventing it from working properly or the connectors on the PS3 may be damaged, which can result in problems with the outputted video.

    Firmware Errors

    • Errors within the PS3 firmware can cause problems loading "Oblivion." Problems with the firmware result in an error code being displayed while trying to play or watch any type of disc on your device. Sony regularly releases updates to the firmware that corrects these problems as they become known. These updates may address the error code you see when you try to load the "Oblivion" disc. Alternatively, you can research individual error codes through the PlayStation Knowledge Center website at us.playstation.com/support/index.htm.

    TV

    • Problems loading "Oblivion" can also result from problems with your TV. For example, a faulty connector on your TV can cause the PS3 to fade in and out. Test your console with the "Oblivion" game on another TV to verify that the problem is with your TV and not with your device.
