After about 30-60 minutes of playing, my PS3 freezes. When I turn it on immediately after shutting it off, it only lasts a few minutes. I can hear the fan running at top speed and I also cleaned it out a few weeks ago so it is clean. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance.

yea.. you're ps3 is dying bro, hate to bear this news but if its any consolation i'm fixin to have to get a new one as well, they start at 249$ now so maybe its not so bad, except i'm probally gonna lose all my saves, another reason i miss memory cards.. :(
Mine has never froze before now though, but I think it is just overheating. Should I get a new fan or just give up and buy a new console. Just missing a great BlackFriday deal, that would make me a tad bit angry...
Is your system enclosed in a cabinet? On the carpet? If it can breathe then it shouldn't be overheating. Follow your gut I supposed with regards to grabbing a deal.

Depends if you are playing skyrim or not....
But it does seem like your ps3 is dieing. My ps3 kept on freezing then green lines with little white boxes filled the screen.
only time my ps3 ever freezes is if i play for like over 5 hours strait or something.. bottomline- they don't last forever, thats why i'm fixin to get a new one before mine starts acting up, besides i want a slim model version anyway.. lol btw does anyone know how to transfer saves from one ps3 to another? without a usb.. read where some guy posted u could.
I have it in a good place, on a wood stand in the open. Not to hot, and I even have a normal fan blowing on it.redllama5
I had a similar set up on my old 60gig.Even my ps3 was showing the same signs as yours and then it finally got the ylod.Backup your data and save some money to get a new ps3.

If he's playing any Bethesda game, it could just be the game.
We saw a ton of these threads last year when New Vegas came out too.
I don't bother buying Bethesda games on the ps3 anymore. When I get Skyrim, it'll be for the pc.
You would need either both PS3 consoles in working order and connect them with a ethernet cable, or buy a external hardrive. For 320GB it is about $90. Thanks for the replies, I suppose I will get a new one.
