It would be ideal to have a back up before the system wont turn on anymore.
Also your problem seems to be dry cooling paste. You have a 20gb model which is 5 years old. The cooling paste on GPU and CPU will be dry by now. That is bad for the transport of heat. And makes your system turn off.
To prevent damages on CPU or GPU just open up the PS3 remove fan and heatsink and apply fresh cooling paste on CPU/GPU. You will find video tutorials on youtube how to do it. That should solve your problem and buy the best paste available so it wont dry up as fast.
