When you say you "had it replaced" do you mean you took it somewhere or you did it yourself?

Additionally, if it can run long enough for it, try entering diagnostic mode. I found how to do this here: http://www.somelifeblog.com/2009/10/ps3-...

Once you run diagnostic mode, you can take a picture of any info you find in there and upload it here to help folks possibly determine what the issue is.

Sounds like there's either not enough thermal paste, low quality paste or not applied correctly. I'd have it redone.
