Why is my PS3 freezing during online gameplay?

My ps3 80gb is freezing both in menu and in games :(((?

• Hello all, I have a ps3 console whiche has NO WARRANTY. My ps3 is freezing in 5 or 10 minutes after openning the system system. If I enter any game it freezes more quickly. Screen is freezing but I can here the sounds from the game... So, I'm reseting the system from front swith. First I try to resore the system, when I'm doing full format, the screen has frozen again, but the lamp of hdd is still blinking. I have wait 4 hour, after that the blinking has gone. Then I shut it down from back switch. But when I started ps3 system, everything was same, it was still freezing.. :(. Then, I have remove the harddisk drive from ps3 and formatted the harddisk drive with "super fdisk" program on my notebook. Then I restore the ps3 system fresh and clear, but it still doing the same thing. Do you think that this is a cooling problem of system (or the graphic CPU of the console) or this is a hdd problem (do I need to buy brand new 2.5" hdd for the console?) ??. What should I do?. Thanks.

  Yes,I think you should buy a cooling fan because i had that same problem.
