This doesnt look like a OS error,probably a harddrive issue

Open command prompt and run this

chkdsk and press enter

Does windows finds any problems?bad sectors?

Download and launch it

On top you have ''system interrupts''

Check its ''CPU usage'' column

Does it take higher amount?

Are you using a SATA or IDE drive

If it is a SATA drive ignore the following steps

If it is IDE ,then try to change from PIO to DMA mode

Right-click on "Computer" and click on "Manage"
Click on "Device Manager"
Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Right-click on any label where "Channel" Click on Properties
Go to the Advanced Settings tab, under Device Properties check "Enable DMA"

Scroll down and click ok

Do you find any errors
