yeah, that's the next thing. It started this about 2 months ago, not
related to anything I can think of, not new programs or any thing specific.
I'm considering doing a system restore back to 2 months ago.. that won't
delete any files will it?

Defragging generally has little effect.
I had my main drive go bad on me back in April, the C drive just
completely disappeared. Ended up installing XP onto the D Drive, which
renamed itself the C drive, and soon after that the original C drive
showed up as the H drive. Thing is, iirc the C and D drives were both
half of one large HD, so these issues with the current C drive could be
related to the previous crash. I have the side of the case off, so heat
shouldn't be an issue.
I'd test your hard drives, and check the motherboard and power supply for
bad capacitors.
