With the infrequency that I would use it on this PC, it would be a hog of x% disk space.
The only things that really could be causing this is software problems, a bad HD or RAM, or a corrupt driver. OP could try updating gfx or chipset drivers but neither is likely to be the cause; a reformat will install kosher drivers, and at the same time freshen the machine up and fix any software problems. RAM has already been eliminated and a bad HD will probably have other symptoms especially as event viewer has been checked.
All points to a reformat though OP could also try safemode and diag startup from Msconfig (remembering to go offline before doing so) to try and point it further.

Long story, and one i don't particularly want to discuss in the forums - basically found a better job, applied for it and got it. No more gory details need discussing.
This job is fixing by remote desktop which is an awful lot easier and less stressful.
