Every command now has a delay, or even locks up the computer before it will execute. It doesn't matter whether I'm on the internet or not.

Any noise from the HDD is not good ! Backup all you can, while you can.
Ticking or clicking noise indicates drive is failing, and all the HDD activity on a defrag just made it worse !
