This article will give you the Safest, Easiest and Quickest way to Fix the YLOD, Red Light of Death.
In order to fix the YLOD, RLOD error on your PS3, you should try the following 3 things:
1 - Restart your console. 2 - Take out all cables, and plug them back in. 3 - Take out the hard-drive, and place it back in your PS3 console.
If these 3 tips didn't help you to fix your PS3 red light error, then it's high likely that you need to open up your console, and fix the problem from within. I really can't help you with that, because you'll need step by step instructions that's coming along with either videos or pictures. But, you've got 3 options to get your hardware problems solved.
There Are 3 Ways To Fix Your PS3 Red Light Problems.
1) If you have no idea of to fix the PS3 yourself, you could send your PS3 back to Sony and let them figure out how to repair the problem. This can take some time and unfortunately if your warranty has expired you will be paying around $150.
2) Take your PS3 to your local repair shop and let them fix it. The downside to this is that they can't guarantee that your PS3 will be fixed.
3) Fix your PlayStation 3 by yourself. If you don't know how to fix ps3 flashing red light, then it's no problem. It's not hard or expensive, and I was lucky to stumble across this site that sorted me out in no time.
To fix your PlayStation 3 by yourself, I'd recommend that you take a look at PS3LIGHTSFIX This is a step by step guide with detailed instructions and pictures how to fix your PS3 problems. It also contains bonuses for after your reparation.
I hope this will be of help to you as it was to me!

During play yellow lite comes on where green lite is and station shuts down even on internet play wont stay on for more than 3 minutes or so..

Does the lights blink red? If so, You have the infamous YLOD, aka. Yellow Light of Death. (now it comes back on, eventually it won't) This is the number 1 cause of pS3's dying. It is an overheating issue linked to your CPU and GPU (the processor chips) You will need to find a local PS3 repair shop who can repair this. Do not try to attempt repairs seen on the internet yourself as some would suggest.You could make things much worse and render the unit totally unresponsive. The repair process takes about 3 hours.

I want to just make it clear to you, that you can repair the following problems at home with a good repair guide. There is no technical knowledge needed you simply do what you see on the step by step videos or the paper guide.

The best thing is to get and keep your PS3 guide for life so if something goes wrong in the future you can just review your guide and fix it.

I was playing a game and then the power was cut off and than when the power was back on i wanted to turn on the playstation 3 and it went on but the light was blinking only green... is it my hard disk,...

No, a blinking green light has nothing to do with your hard disk. I have encountered a few similair problems with my own PS3 and one thing has always solved those problems. hold down the power button on the front of your console for about 8-10 seconds, this will automatically reboot your device and restore it to the factory settings. remember, the green light is your friend, its the Yellow light you need to be cautious of.

Yellow light blinking next to blue on/off light

The "tin can" symbol below the yellow light signifies a hard disk. The yellow light is a hard disk activity indicator, it is nothing to worry about. It is just tell you that the computer is accessing the hard drive.
