old computer freezes when I play music

As the title says, my computer freezes if I want to listen to any audiofile using WindowsMediaPlayer or VLC Mediaplayer.
It's happening to me since a few days. If I double-click on the audiofile (mp3, wav, ogg and so on) Windows Explorer just freezes. Meanwhile Windows Explorer freezes already after I just entered that folder. After a few seconds every other programm such as Google Chrome freezes or Skype or any game that runs. I can only move my mouse.

I can't acces to these files in any way. Even if my Avast is scanning that folder the computer freezes imediately.

I tried already a few things.
• scanning Registry and repairing it
• installed newest Audio Drivers
• tried to cut all files out of their folder. (leads into a freeze)
• Scanning my computer with Avast (freezes my computer after a few minutes)

Does anyone knows a solution for this or maybe had the same problem?

@user Alistaire: You think I didn't use Google?
Did you seriously thought I'm a BRBRBR-plz-halp-cs2d-broken-becuz-of-hax-faggot? I searched for almost 5 hours for a fucking solution. Then I thougt "Lets ask the helpful community of Unrealsoftware" since there are a few people who know more about computers and stuff than me. Now is Dr.Alistaire bitching around and telling me "Use Google, motherfucker".

Do not defragment your disk, no good will come from that.

This is probably not something to do with music specifically, is there anything else that causes freezes?

Boot into a linux livecd ( ~700MB download for Ubuntu ), copy the music into another folder and then delete the original folder. If you cannot go into the new music folder, it is likely some sort of virus... A really, really magical one.

@user Chingy I once fixed a laptop that had the same problem by installing this codecs pack. (btw is it only music or any media file?)

Also get Ccleaner and perform a cache clear if you haven't done that already.
