I don't know if this is related but I had a similar situation where Eclipse would hang at start up and at seemingly random moments. All of my Eclipse installs became pretty much unusable at the same time. Two things fixed it for me. Defraging and Jacking up the RAM. Defragging helped a lot. My HD was a big red splotch when I looked at it in Smart Defrag.
I jacked up the RAM in the eclipse.ini like so. org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 1024M and at the bottom of the file -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms40m -Xmx512m BTW Eclipse.ini is pretty picky on what values it will accept and I found these to work after trial and error.
