Is it a Phat if so then maybe clean the dust out if so just buy a slim you got a better chance that lasting than a Phat

You might have used too much thermal paste

Can you check your fan speeds?? Usually when the fans goes over 80 your ps3 will cut off

Make sure the console has good air flow. If it keeps overheating then you can try doing the case mod. You drill holes in the top of your case so you get better air flow and such. (I can link a youtube video)

I might try that in a bit but I noticed that if I go to a game offline I can stay on forever but if I go online it will turn off...
