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.
Oh, and taking off the side of the case can actually increase internal temperatures if air flow inside the case is predicated on being closed. I'd run it for awhile and then check the CPU temp in the CMOS. If you have a bad thermal connection between the CPU and the heat sink, the CPU could still be overheating.
