Sounds like a driver issue, which Video card you using and have you installed the latest drivers? Also, you might want to report this issue: For Feedback: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=55160

Sounds like a variant of the disk-thrashing problem that occurs on many earlier versions of Windows when many large video files are in a single folder. The work-around for that is to disable a number of the file-handlers so that they can't do thumbnail extraction. I don't recall the exact procedure, but a careful web-search on the symptoms should turn it up.

Try disabling DEP. Open command prompt as ADMIN and type:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
reboot and see if it helps.

File DEP under unintended consequences. Oops, getting ahead of myself. I'll wager a lot don't know what DEP is. If you have some unexplained Window issues like Windows Explorer crashing or similar such things take a few minutes to get up to speed on Data Execution Prevention or DEP which is discussed at length in this blogs.
