HELP!
I on my ps3 this morn and it switch off itself(as though no power source) while loading gt5. I off the main switch and turn in on to have the red light
When I press the on button or eject button the ps3 switched off again(as though no power source)
 
It sounds like your PS3 has suffered from a hardware failure, if I'm reading what you're saying correctly. Does a yellow light flash before it turns back to red?

No the ps3 just switch of with no lights
As though there is no power source
 
If there are no flashing lights and the red light is not on while in standby mode it is possible a power supply replacement is needed. Search youtube for do-it-yourself power supply replacement tutorials.

If the red light is on in standby mode, then you are getting power and your system is overheating causing it to shutdown. This could be early signs of YLOD.
 
Have you tried a different power socket, a different cable? It might be that your PSU has gone which is a pretty inexpensive fix. You could also try opening it up and replacing the thermal paste on the chips as it might be overheating.

Is the power supply external on the slim model PS3s?

No, its a very small rectangular plastic box inside the case.

It looks like this when you take the top of the PS3 off...

They are cheap to replace.
