Most likely both of you are dealing with the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death)

Not really yellow, but after 3 beeps and shutdown do you see a red light blinking?

Also the 3 beeps and shutdown is warning you that the system is overheating and is shutting itself down before hardware damage occurs. Open up your PS3s and clean them out.

Then pray.

Good luck!
