Thrashing and Crashing

I have 2 IBM 7200 hard drives in my computer. When I run a speed test on them, my C drive is about 1/20th of the speed of my D drive (same type of drive). Lately, I will open some applications and all of a sudden my drive will thrash for about 30 seconds, and then eventually the app will crash. If I start it up again, same thing. The only thing I can do is reboot. But it eventually will happen again.

I ran chkdisk and even did a sector check, no problems. Also defragged it. What else could it be? Bad drive?

I am running Win2k on a P3 700Mhz w/ 512MB Ram.

Thank you!
 
Is your case well ventilated? Could your D: be in a better position to be "cooled" than your C:??
 
Yes, it is well ventilated. I have a couple extra fans running in there. Hmm.. My C drive is noticeably louder too. Strange. Sounds like it might be dieing?
