My Athlon 1800+ Palomino runs at around 35.C, did you use thermal stuff when you installed the heatsink?
Apart from that, sound like a HD overheating problem to me, those Seagate drives get very hot under load and when the glass disk warps (by a minute amount) due to heat expansion, the head sometimes has trouble reading/writing the data and completely loses track of where the data it just wrote is.
My IBM drive does it sometimes when copying large files, you can hear it make a click when the head skips, although it's only ever caused a stop error once.
