Some additional information would be helpful. What is the PS3 doing that leads you to believe it's overheating? Any details about its specific behavior can help us figure out what's going on.

Right after I turn it on it says the PS3 is too hot, the fans kick on loud immediately, and within seconds the console turns off.

I only do PS4s, but when I turn a PS4 on and it immediately signals that it is overheating, it is because the APU clamp is loose or missing.
