My money's on a hard drive. Watch your SMART monitors, maybe think about
swapping out. Run one of the freeware always-on SMART monitors like

Why are you bothering with that POS? If it's only one file you want to copy
just use a command line batch file. If it's a disk image you're after
there's great freeware for that. (eg http://www.partition-saving.com/ )
PS Thanks for pointing out nobody should spray the inside of their power
supplies with anything. I *did* suggest that often a spray of a lubricant
will quiet a noisy *fan*. How sloppily people do this is up to them; it's
their power supply.
