I have a Dell Dimension 2600 running Windows XP sp 3. I recently bought and installed a Seagate 500 GB USB/eSATA External HD. The PC worked fine before I installed this so it must be the External HD, it shuts down on it's own and when I turn it back on I get a Thermal Event notification or Fan Issue message. Anyone know anything about this issue or if I can fix it? Anyone heard of this issue before? Thanx in advance.

It sounds your fans are not spinning properly.
Open up your computer and check your Fans.
Make sure the power cables of the fans are correctly plugged in.

ok, I've done that, it looked ok, I'm still waiting to see if it happens again. I cleaned it out good, too.
