WTF is wrong with my laptop?

Okay techie people, what the fuck is wrong with my laptop? It runs fine for 10 minutes after turn it on, but then the harddrive starts constantly reading/writing to itself and everything slows to a crawl. After about 10 minutes the fan kicks in - a few minutes later the harddrive calms down and everything returns to normal.

10 minutes later, the harddrive starts going mad again, everything slows to a crawl, and it remains like this. No error messages or anything.

WTF is wrong? I defragged the harddrive a few days ago, and there's about 8gig free on it. My theory is that it's overheating and fucking up the RAM so it resorts to overusing the virtual memory. Anyone got a better idea as to what's wrong,and how do I fix it?
