This sounds like explorer isnt doing to well. You can test this the next time it freezes by pressing CTRL ALT DEL then from the process tab terminate explorer. then click file / new task run in the box type explorer. This will terminate the relaunch explorer if it fixes the problem then you know its explorer and the only real way i know to fix this is a reinstall preferably with a format first.
Try sfc. Put your windows disk in the drive or mount it if it's an image. Start-> run-> cmd-> type "sfc /scannow" (with out quotation marks) Hit enter and let it run. Also try reinstalling your service pack or updating it.
You can try running a scandisk (with boxes to fix errors) on all your partitions. If there are any file corruption it will cause explorer to hang. Check what your cpu usage is. It needs to be less than 5 percent with just your background programs running. Worst case scenario, if you are using onboard audio, try installing a pci audio card. Some motherboards onboard audio is very cpu intensive and will slow down your entire computer. That happen to me before.
