Random lockups, help needed!

I've got a really odd problem with my setup at the moment. Every now and again i'll hear a loud clunk as if my hard drive has shut down and my pc will then stop responding. Eventually i'll get a BSOD and i'll have to reset it. I'm getting this once a week or so. Could it be my overclock? Even though i've tested it with Orthos? Or could my hard drive be on the way out?

It's Vista Ultimate 32 bit OEM

I have tried turning off all the power saving options. I had noticed the odd click coming from my pc a while back, but it's not done it lately. Could be hard drive about to fail. Which drive though? I've got 3 WD SATA's.

Problem is it can be a week of constant use before it happens.

System specs are in my sig. Orthos stable for 9 hours, so i don't think it's that. I've backed the overclock down to 2.8Ghz now, but it hasn't stopped the problem.
