I'd connect an external drive (portable HDD, usb data stick etc) and get a copy of all the stuff I didn't want to loose, then if it does die or you need to wipe it clean and start again you've not lost everything. And I'd do it sooner rather than later. Depending on how much stuff you've got that you want to keep, I'd also think about cloud storage - if you've got a Gmail account you get a few gig of cloud storage so you could consider that.
