If you are suspecting heat-related problems, I guess the first step if 
you haven't already done it is to install hddtemp and turn on its 
syslog facility to see what sort of temperatures we're actually talking 
about.

Depending on what your hardware supports, there are a few other heat 
sensor packages to install to monitor various components.
