The hal.dll lives or dies in the boot sector. This is a clear indication of HDD failure. First question to answer is what caused it. Second would be to boot from another drive and scavenge all usable data from the HDD if it will scan.
As Hive pointed out, not all CPUs are high-end secondary heating sources. The spousal unit's store bought Dell only kicks when needed, and is the utmost quietest PC I have ever experienced. But, that does not mean all low grade CPUs do this.
Sorry, dude, but the end is near on this one.
