Question PS3 overheats?

After playing BF:BC2 about an hour, console beeps three times, turns off, and red light keeps blinking. If I turn it on, i can play again. The fan operates only on basic level when playing, not kicking in faster. I tried fan test, it worked, sounds like a jet engine, so the fan is good.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help, changed thermal paste on CPU and GPU, but the problem is still the same. The fan stays at level 1 or 2 but doesn't go faster. I'll contact @KillerBug , hope he'll help.

Regards.
