I remember a roommate a few years ago who put a block of one of those blue-plastic ice-inside packs on his hard drive, which was on top of his tower just sitting there, because it was overheating. It worked, but I'd watch out for leaks.

For that matter, I've had a lot of luck simply powering down the system for
an hour, and letting the hard drive cool off.

Power back on, and presto, everything works fine for like an hour before it
flakes out again, which is usually enough time to ghost or copy everything
off.
