    I got a 60 GB PS3, and it over heated within 30 minutes, but still works ok. I start getting problems in 3 to 4 hours of play

Playstation 3 power issue

Your system has overheated. If it doesn't get on at all anymore, you should get it fixed in the place you bought it from. That happened to me.
