I've an older fireball that did the same thing: overheat and pack up.
I ended up putting a spare PS fan in the box (full towers have their
pluses :) to cool it down -- that fixed it.
(Spinning it down with hdparm also fixed it in linux; unfortunately
it's my dos drive...)

Quantum is the likely cause.  In my case 2 WD drives directly above
the fireball work just fine -- so it's not room temperature or air flow
inside the box -- Quantum drives are s**tty, that's all.
