HD's die, just like us. They have a life.

BUT

After 5hrs is pretty weird, everything else in your system ok, take of the side casing, and when it does it again.

Carefully touch the HD to see how warm it is, upto reasonably warm tis fine, hot to boiling well somethings up.

Also touch the side of your heatsink above your processor (the thing with the fan also :P) Make sure that isnt boiling, as it could be your CPU overheating which is causing the crash.
