Try disabling your system's power-saving modes to NOT place the hard-disk on standby/hibernate and the same for your monitor.

Assmuing you have at least six inches of space behind your PC's exhaust fan, when was the last time you opened up the PC case and removed the dust coating the components? Clean out the intake and exhaust vents of the case/power supply while you're at it.
