My PS3 Stopped while playing a game. How do I fix it?

My PS3 just stopped working while in the middle of playing a game. The red light comes on but when you go to push the on button the red light goes out and nothing else. There is no noise or anything coming from it. What is the problem and how can I fix it?? Do I need to take it to someone or can I fix myself?

Update:

No yellow lights show up and I have left it for a couple of days now and still nothing. It's like the power supply or fan inside has just died... So where do you take it to get it fixed??

    Well if the light turns yellow, that means its an overeating problem. If you have a warranty on it you can send it to Sony and they will fix it or send you a new one. If you dont have a warranty then you can bring it somewhere to get it fixed but i will cost a lot.

    If it won't play CDs, DVDs or Blurays the two then that's greater advantageous than in all probability thepersistent. you're able to desire to attempt a lense air purifier CD and see if this helps yet different than that it may be a fix. If it performs different disks yet no longer video games, it would desire to be a situation with the tricky-power. back up documents which you relatively prefer to maintain (you need to do this besides whilst you're pondering getting it repaired) and then fix the PS3 equipment, this ought to format the tricky-power and fix it to production unit state. additionally verify that it is not overheating, verify that the fan is working properly and the vents are not blocked and shop in a properly ventilated area.

    your system probably just over heated, you should let it sit for a while. My ps3 has done this a few times but i go to turn it of and the screen goes black and the power button stays green. i just hold down the power button until it beeps and then it'll go off. im not sure if holding down the power button for about 10 seconds with help you but its worth a shot right?
