Does it happen if you test in safe mode?

Re: windows explorer (not responding)

OK. Whenever something works in "safe mode" but not in "normal mode", you can be confident that the difference is down to additional componentry that loads during a normal boot. Hence, by selectively disabling a subset of those components and rebooting every time, you can usually find the culprit.

Run MSCONFIG and an applet should pop up that will allow you to perform a "selective startup".

Even better, get the Sysinternals "AUtoRuns" tool:
