My Hard Drive has been acting weird lately, it has been overheating and being very hot, as playing games and as being idle.

Is there any other ways that buying fans and stuff, because im out of money at the moment.
If i could change some things in my windows, so that the hard drive can lower its temperature.
I'm using Google Chrome browser and the hard drive is already at 35C. When i play games it goes up to 55C, maybe even worse.

All my computer parts are 3 days old, and some of them are very hot, i dont want them to be fried
Any suggestions pleas?
 
Solution
If your box goes up to 55c when gaming that means the GPU is producing the extra heat and not being removed from box.

Do you need more fans, I don't know. Sometimes you already have the fans but they are not mounted properly, reversed mounted etc and not doing the job they are suppose to be doing. A simple rule about fans is, intake bottom, exhaust top, and how you have other stuff mounted inside the box also may impede air movement. This is the part of a PC build that requires some analysis and trial&error.
