yeah, did a defrag a couple weeks ago. Little to no improvement.
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.
