Default High disk activity crashes machine (sudden reboot)

Hi,
I've been trying to dump my usr filesystem but my machine keeps crashing (sudden reboot) only a few minutes into the process. Also, when I try to copy big files (using cp) onto an external HD via USB it does the same as well.

When I try to copy onto my external HD via network it crashed the machine as well.

I'm thinking that maybe my HD is going bad or perhaps a more fundamental hardware issue...it's a consistent problem.

Anybody with a similar problem?
