Your temps are dangerously high, you should really get some better cooling, if you want to continue onverclocking! Look into Alpha or Global Win, or maybe even the cheap Golden Orb.

As for your harddrive problem, maybe some data was corrupted, when you put it into another computer? Not very likely though, but stranger things have happened.

You could try upping your core voltage some more, I think that will help you out. Go for 1.75v or maybe 1.80, but still - COOLING is very important.

When you re-installed your heatsink, you didn't put too much thermal grease on it, did you? It only needs a very thin and even layer, best applied with a razor blade, or something like that. (Don't use your fingers!)

Hope this helps you out. Good luck!
