Bummer, but have you gone through the steps to fix it? One is like turning it on while holding down the power button, then the fans turn on in high power in reverse. You may have some accumulated dust from not using it.

There are also steps where you may have to replace the thermal past. Good luck.

After it froze I couldn't get any video output when I turned it back on.  I also couldn't turn it off normally.  After about and hour and a half it turned on normally and output video.  I turned it back off after a few minutes.  I'm worried I'll make it worse by playing it until the gpu freezes up again.

There are so many different things that could be causing that.  Even sometimes a loose chip.  Wish you still had some kind of warrantee.  

Here is a thread from a while ago about a friend's old PS3 Fat.  There are several suggestions.  It might be worth looking at:  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=167255&page=1
