Possibility:
You have drives from a network mapped. That will stop Explorer to work until it times out looking for a network connection.

Let me know.

Even if you don't log into the domain, it will still look for the mappings to see if the connection is available.
You could try unplugging from the network, booting, and then disconnecting mapped drives.

Have you ran Scandisk on the drive in question? Perhaps damaged files, or a messed up master boot record is to blame here.
