Your PS3 is overheating :p
As to why i guess the fan is not working or the heat sensor is not working or you have a dust collection that needs to be removed or it on the way out.
Try cleaning your PS3 to get rid of the dust and see if that helps.

What hard drive is it? I bet that is the problem. Upgrading internal HDD's on Ps3's are never a good idea.

I mean upgrading it a large amount. I've seen people punch in 1TB HDD's and wonder why their PS3 overheats.

All drives are slightly different. Usually the large capacity drives use slightly larger enclosures and can cause airflow restrictions.
