a friend recently gave me a ps3 because he was frustrated with the same problem he thought that I might be able to fix it... he went ahead and bought a new one. But I have had no luck either.... if anybody out there has any ideas it would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

Had the same problem with my 60GB console, its called YLOD - Yellow Light of Death
Only way to fix it is to send it to a service.
Good things is the whole repair costs around 50-70Euros.

My case begs to differ. Bought the PS3 in march 2007, died in january 2011 sent back to repairs and it's still going strong.
