Surely if the PC is crashing after 10 minutes its a sign of it overheating? I hover inside around the fans and heatsinks can fix this.

Also you could always slave the old drive on another PC and extract everything that way.

Yes I would give this a go to see if it fixes the problem. Also could be a problem with the fan, can you hear the fan working?
