When a game crashes on PlayStation, you will normally get sent to the PlayStation dashboard and receive one of the following error messages:

• Error code CE-34878-0.
• An error has occurred with an application or system software.

If you receive either of these error messages, simply restart the game and attempt to play again. However, if you continue to receive either of these error messages, there are measures you can take to reduce the chance of game crashes.

Is your system software up to date?

Is everything else in good working order?

If your PlayStation is up to date, try the following troubleshooting tips:

• Check your game disc for abrasions, scratches, or dust. If the disc is dirty, clean it with a soft cotton cloth dampened with water. Wipe the non-label side from the center straight out to the edges. Be sure your disc is completely dry before inserting it back into your PlayStation.
• Ensure your PlayStation console is in a cool, well-ventilated place.
• Delete old files and game data from your PlayStation.
