close all that crap you have running except for explorer and systray... nothing else needs to be running.. NOTHING. then defrag and see how it goes

Might want to run Scandisk first.

you can also run both defrag & scandisk in safe mode!

and check you PowerManagement settings make sure your system not set to go into Standby(or such) and same for harddisks(always on) ..sometimes even monitor..
