I'm having a bit of trouble understanding exactly what is going on here... my first thoughts are: perhaps a virus, or an overheating problem.

Okay, first thing... all caps is shouting and it is unnecessary.. we can hear you, we just can't understand...

Second, please explain in detail what you are talking about. I read both your posts several times and I still don't know what you are talking about... Complete sentences and details about what is going on and what you have done would help a lot....

On the defragmentation issue,
Boot into SAFE mode and defrag the machine, by doing this you eliminate many things that can interfere with the defrag process, hence the "writing to disk" messages.
