At this point, overheating is not the issue, but the damage done FROM when it overheated. The more you turn on and run your console without proper repair, the worse it will get. It has already shut off on you, so software will not help. It needs hardware repair.
Freezing during gameplay is because your weak contacted RSX chip is failing. It could also be a sign your laser going out( if you're running discs), which could even be another result of your console overheating when it happened..
It is crucial, if you want to save the console and prevent further damage, that you at least change your thermal paste. From there can you decide what you ultimately will need to do.
