I can confidently say your ps3 is about to go YLOD, nothing really that you can do about it, if you wanna continue to use it you will have to do a reflow with a heat gun which is a very delicate process, I would advice you to sell it after doing the reflow and let the person buying know about the impending problem since it is a recurring one, go on youtube and search for "Gilksy ps3 reflow", Hope this helps

Ps3 wont power all the way up
if you have moved your ps3 to a different tv or something, the video setting can get messed up, thus having to reset the video settings. here are a few steps to do so.

1. put your finger on the reset button and wait until the ps3 is in standby. (Keep holding your finger on it, don't let go)

2. turn off the ps3 completely by switching off the power switch (make sure your still holding your finger on the reset button)

3. turn your ps3 back on (while still holding the reset button) and you will hear a beep. keep holding the reset button until you hear a second beep. let go of the reset button as soon as you hear the second beep

this should reset the video of your ps3. ive done this to my ps3 before because when i was installing linux i almost screwed up my ps3. when i turned on my ps3 no picture or sound would appear. so i called sony and this is what they told me to do and it worked.

Red light flashing/won't turn on
you are right about replacing the thermal compound between the cpu/gpu and heat sync. the gpu and cpu may need to be refolowed also. another tip is dont over tighten the screws. Tip: keep your ps3 flat do not keep it standing. when it is standing and heats up the thermal compound can start to move away from the heat sync. Keeping it flat will help extend the life PS3 at least from the overheating issue.

turn the hard switch off in the back of the ps3. Put your finger on the soft power button on the front of the ps3, keep your finger on the soft button while simultanesouly switching the hard power button to the on position.

Keep you finger on the soft power button for approx 10secs, this will reset your vid settings on the ps3.
