You should try to boot into recovery mode to see what happens. For that, push down the power button and hold it down until the ps3 shutdown, then wait like 2 seconds, push it down again and hold it until you hear 3beeps in a row I think? If your ps3 can stay in recovery without shutting down, Its might only be a software related problem solved by reinstalling the Firmware. If it shut down by itself in recovery, either it overheat or your ps3 is bricked :|
