Help!! A virus?

Can someone please give me some advice on what to do.

First off I was downloading a video clip on my psp And it started up fine, and then I looked away and next thing I know it was switched off. I then tried to turn it on, and it wouldn't, so I took out the memory card and battery and left it for a while, and tried to turn it back on but it would only get in to recovery(after a couple of trys). So it was in recovery and and pressed "exit" and it started up like normal, then after a few minutes it did he same thing again. I have got in in recovery and will just leave it there in fear of a bricked psp! Is there such thing as a virus for psp? if so what do I do!!

I have a 1.50 with 3.10oea. Please help!

I think that may be something hardware related, if this is anything like I've heard before. Then again, maybe you'd need to reinstall OE or something. The only virus for PSP that I recall was the PSPBrick.Trojan in the fake 2.00 downgrader. Besides, nothing could have been executed through transferring a video.

My advice, first reinstall OE if it continues, then, have Sony look at it if it's that big of a problem. (Bye bye, homebrew. )

sponge is right. Re-install your OE firmware; but if the problem still persists, try instlling a different version of OE.
(Example: Like switching from 3.40 OE-a to 3.03 OE-c)

I took Your advice and reinstalled the oe and it boots up fine now,
and so far havn't had any problems! Don't know what the heck happened!
I didn't think a virus could actually execute from a downloaded video, but when I was just downloading it that was first thing I thought!

Thanks again! (and sorry about the double posting, browser had a fit)

This is one of the strangest occurrences I have ever heard of with a video...
