What kind of errors did chkdsk find? Did you use the /r flag? What did SFC say?

I would run a prog that will report the HDD's SMART attributes (defraggler is one). Then boot to a Seatools for DOS disk and run the long test. Back up any important data first.

Did you use the chkdsk /r flag? I still would run the Long self-test.

You could try to disconnect all unnecessary hardware. Run Ghostbuster to see if there are any unnecessary drivers causing conflict. It could be a hardware problem is hanging Windows.
