computer issues

hi,
i would like to start out by saying i have a custom built computer.

hard drive: 250 GB [now only 215 from last partition]
external hard drive: 160 GB
video card: nVidia GeForce 7950 GT
sound card: Creative Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio
processor: Two Pentium D 3.00GHz
RAM: 1.00GB
monitor: 19" widescreen lcd

it runs loud normally. when i first got it, it was fine, ran fast and smooth. cpu temp was around 30 degrees celcius. then i installed my necessary programs, and it starts to heat up, slower startup, while i have so much hard drive space unused.

another thing i noticed was when i startup, a nVidia popup comes up and says it has lowered its performance to comply with my power settings, something along those lines.

whenever i am doing too many things at once, or have too many windows open, the cpu heats up to over 47 degrees celcius it freezes up on me for a few minutes and/or i get a bsod.

these bsods consist of KERNAL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR and more recently i got a registry corruption upon starting up.

ive already in the past, recently maybe two months ago if even, had to reinstall windows from similar problems. one of those reasons though was i had bad sectors on my disc. so, i had to cut out some of the space from the new partition, and completely start off fresh again with a windows reinstallation.

im now at a similar problem not too far from the old one, and im getting worried that my cmputer is just going to completely screw up, something irreversible, and i need guidance on what to do, whether it be software or hardware related.

help is greatly appreciated
