PS3 shutting down only when online?

Hi all, I need of a bit of expert advice ( seeing as Sony support were useless), my 5 yr old 60gb PS3 has started to shut down when playing online (blops2). Now I've moved the device to get more air into it, placed it upright on top of a stand, but after anything from 10mins to 60 it just dies on me. However, my kids play offline on it for hours and hours with only the occasional freeze, but no dying?
Is this the beginning of the end for my old buddy? Why shut down when online? Does it draw more power thus gets hotter? Yes it does get very warm on top. Would stripping it down and cleaning it out help? ( have quite a dusty house with pets and fireplace).
Any knowledge on this gratefully received. Cheers
