Might want to check the temperature of your machine... summer is coming to a close so it's probably not that hot, but where I live it can get pretty hot, and my ambient case temperature can get really high. In particular, my DVD drive seems to get pretty hot when used quite a bit, and then it starts crapping out.
In any case, try booting up with safe mode or boot logging turned on to see what drivers are loading on startup. For Win2K/XP, it'll list the drivers as they are loaded, so you can see which one is giving you a hard time.
