I removed any software not really needed. Nothing changed. After nine months, the HDD simply died on me one day. After replacing it, no more flakiness. Simply a stable system again. So, I reckon my HDD was on the cusp of dying, but not really dying for nine months.

And by the way: that was a brand new HDD, that caused the problem. So, it must have had some problems from the start.
Use a tool that can display the S.M.A.R.T. status on your drive. (A Linux Live CD usually has one)
