This is exactly the behavior you would expect when a drive has developed major problems from which the OS can't recover.
Tail /var/log/messages and you will probably see a flood of disk problems.
And pray it isn't a hard-drive. With flooding in Thailand hard drive street prices have almost doubled over the past 60 days...
