Could be a problem with the thermal paste or overheating. You may need to apply some new thermal paste inside the PS3. This problem may not be the same as yours, but I'm going to quote a YouTube user, who seems to know what to do about the problem:

2- Disassemble your PS3 (you have to know what to do) tell you reach 2 metal silver squares (i think it is the processors) on the mother board right before you reach the ventilation fan. (you could watch youtube under title fixing overheating PS3)
3- Remove the old coating thermal paste (mostly you will find it black like burned) by napkin and any pc cleaning liquid till it is all removed.
4- Some video suggests to heat that 2 squares with special heating gun so i did it in case but i used the hair dryer. I am not sure if this step is helping or not but i did it in case. It is heating the squares and push lightly on it in case some of the connection was loose a little, it gets back in the place. Wait till it cool down for around 15 minutes.
5- Start to spread the new thermal paste you bought it equally on those 2 squares and do not splash on the rest of mother board around (clean it if you do). Spread using plastic credit card like.
6- You are done. Reassemble the PS3 and turn it on and go along with the messages will appear and enjoy.
I have been playing for an hour and it is fine.

Now, this may not be the solution to you, and since I've never faced any freezing problems that couldn't be dealt with with the recovery menu, it's a good guide, I believe. Other users might have better methods, and maybe you should upload a video or images of what's exactly going on, so that more visual users can help you.
