It's a PlayStation 3 problem. It's happening to me right now. It won't show up. I'm not quite sure how to fix this but.. Here's what I tried and it worked for everyone else but it didn't work for me:
OPTION 1:
-Turn off your PS3
-Turn it back on but hold the touch button. As usual, when it turns on, it beeps. Keep holding your finger down onto the button. It will beep again. Keep holding. It may turn off but turn it on again. It will be as it turns on and hold your finger down onto the button. Keep holding. It will beep. Keep holding. It will beep twice quickly. When you hear that, let go. A menu will show up. There will be six options. Now this is something YOU will have to choose from. It depends if you want everything erased or not. Select one and it will let you know if things will be deleted permanently or not. NOTE: When they do say that, it is possible that it will be restored. May not happen.
-After you picked one, follow what it tells you. Not much you have to do.
WARNING: When you do this option, it may mess up your PS3. If so, follow option 2.
OPTION 2:
-Turn off your PS3
-Turn it on and it will beep as it turns on. Normal. Keep holding onto the button. Wait for it to beep again. Let go. Wait for your PS3. It will restart. NOTE: This may corrupt your files but it may be restored if your hard drive is there and has a proper user on it.
If none of these options work, contact Sony or continue doing research. Try YouTube.
Hope these options work! :)

∙ 13y agothere can be a few reasons to this most common one is for the fat ps3 but also happens commonly on the slim range just not as much this is when the laser lens needs cleaning or the laser has simply died this is pretty common and can cause what you are saying.
apart from that the other thing is scratched disc - obviously a problem
and....
and corrupt hdd or software within the ps3 if you read up online you can do a reset and that has fixed cases like this before however it is rare.
PS: Had this problem with 2x ps3 - first case the laser had gone so I bought a new one - second case was just a dirty lens lol
thats all I can say also...... if you do not wish to read that than know this I am now an xbox360 user due to ps3 problems and update problems that killed my friends ps3 :/

This could possibly be due to a scratched disc, if not, then it could have something to do with the inner workings of the PS3. Possibly try different games, if it continues not to work try sending it to Sony for repair or e-mail them this same problem. Hope this helps! =P
