Check your fan(s)? Maybe it/they are bogged down with dust.. particularily the cpu fan.

You might try pulling the cables out, blowing some compressed air into the pins and reconnecting everything as well. A few months ago I had all the symptoms of one of my hard drives failing.. turned out it was just a cable that had come a little loose.

..and of course there's the obvious defrag & clean up. I try to backup my really important files every 2 or 3 months onto CD. Takes an hour or two but if I ever need it it'll be worth the investment.
