After updating to firmware 3.61 there was reported several overheating problem with older PS3 models. Dying a death. These deaths happened while playing LA Noire games. It seems to that is not error in LA Noire.
Rockstar have already released official statement to this problem on official forum.

We have received some reports of PS3s overheating while playing L.A. Noire or beeping three times before shutting down/turning themselves off, mostly on older 60GB and 80GB fat models.
Primary reports seem to be that updating to firmware 3.61 will cause PlayStations to overheat. There have been various reports of this on a few different games now, all reporting their PS3s turning off or ‘Red Lighting’ after having installed 3.61.
This can range from games randomly freezing to PS3s turning off anywhere between 30 mins use to 2 hours. We have confirmed locally that multiple games (Rockstar and non-Rockstar) overheat or freeze only when 3.61 is installed.

So it seems that the console killing they own firmware and not the latest game.
