Emachine E520 - Very Slow and overheating

After much research I note that the emachine is prone to over heating.  But this machine I am working on right now is a complicated one.  Not only does the machine over heat it appears very very slow.  I performed the following :

Format hard drive and installed Windows 7
Format hard drive and installed Vista Premium
Reseated and applied new thermal paste to CPU and GPU

Both operating systems were very very slow and kept crashing.  Running CRCDISK on reboot the machine hangs at 13% every time so it's pointing to a hard drive issue.

I am just installing an old 80GB hard drive I had laying around, installing Win 7.
