PSP crashing on PSP boot iso boot randomly. Pandora did not fix the problem

[kornkid]

So, first, Hi everyone!

I always was a m33 CFW only user, but then Gen 5.50 came out and i updated with it, some time after that, my PSP has randomly crashed on PSP boot and game booting,

on the PSP crash it just shows the wallpaper, on the game boot it just shows the white sony screen and doesnt go any further.

So to play a game, i have to force reset like 5 times, before i get the console to actually boot the game.

Now in the games, it never crashes.

So, i thought " oh it must just be a bug on the CFW, when i feel like it i will reflash it and it will be ok"

And because of that, ive been using my psp for months solely to play mp3.

Today, since i was sick, i decided to finally fix the problem and reverted it back to 5.00 m33.

It all seemed nice and dandy, it booted alright, i install m33-6, try to run a game and then... BAM! crash!

I then format the memory stick, disable all plugins, the crashes still happen. Desperate, i install OFW 5.00 and use the network update to download and install OFW 6.20. When the installation is somewhat at 80% or something, it gave me an installation error and didnt complete the installation...

After that, once again I install CFW 5.00 and did some research, I found out that what could be causing the crashes could be a corrupt ID key thing... So i download Key Cleaner 1.4 and run it, then i select to analyze the keys and to my surprise, it didnt detect any errors! everything was okay!

So now im left without a clue, i tried every possible solution, which makes me think that it could be a hardware problem, which could make sense, because i have the bad habit of letting my psp fall on the floor ( not on purpose) a bunch of times ( but the console never complained before). But also, if it was a hardware problem, wouldnt the console stop working all together? Or at least crash when im gaming?

So i came here in hopes of someone more experienced than me might know the cause of this peculiar problem.

Some things you guys might want to know:

I have a old PSP 2000 slim with TA-085 motherboard( thats what Key Cleaner says, but my PSP is old before the new Slims with new motherboard, so i dont know)

The console crashes with either the magic stick or my normal card stick, so it cant be a memory stick problem

I formated the flash through Pandora restoration.

Key Cleaner 1.4v didnt detect any errors on my ID keys.

Never got a black screen

Could Gen be related to this problem?

I also want to be able to update to the latest OFW, because when Phantasy Star Portable 2 comes out, im going to need to be OFW to play it... What couldve been the reason of the error in the instalation of OFW 6.20?

Summary of the problem:

My PSP works, "sometimes"


Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help, and sorry for my bad english and ponctuation =)

So it could be something to do with the UMD drive?
