Is there a flashing red light or yellow light at all when it shuts down?

Additional heating mechanisms and bolt on fans tend to heat the console up even more than the standard fans as they obstruct the airflow from the existing vents. Try removing any of these extra cooling features and ensure there's at least 4 inches of space all round the PS3.
