Download and burn a linux live cd. Boot, run gparted to partition your disk. Either erase both partitions and create a new,big one - or resize the original partition and expand the new partition.

Try ubuntu for the live-cd.

For your other computer my guess would be either the powersupply or the CPU getting too hot. (The thermal paste between the CPY and the heat-sink can dry out over time)
Using the live-cd can help you rule out any virus or software issues. Just use Ubuntu for a while. If everything is ok, it's a software issue. Otherwise your down to hardware.
