Hard disk heats up and system hangs

Hard disk heats up and system hangs after 10 mins use. I've recently upgraded my mobo - new shuttle mobo with pentium celeron 1.7 processor. CPU looks pretty ok, it is not getting heated much. The hard disk chips become pretty hot to touch. Please help me with your suggestions

Did you upgrade your power supply also?
How many WATTS is it (150, 200, 250, 300, 350, etc... written on the power supply itself)
Power supply needs to be 300 watts at least.
This will affect heat of all components.
