Check your graphic-card drivers. Try to find newer ones. Maybe they cause some problems with GDI on Win. Try to email tech-support of your graphicscard-company. They always deal with the prob.
How much video memory do you have?  It could be a part of a slowlyness problem.

You mentioned that when you use the eraser tool on a layer it crashes the program.
Photoshop has a a revert feature with the eraser tool that allows you to "erase" the image back to the original. This requires a large swap area on your hard drive.  You mentioned an 8.6GB hard drive.  Plenty big, but how is it partitioned?  If your Photoshop temp folder is pointing to a partition that has no space left the that's your problem.  Has nothing to do with video drivers.
However, I can only speculate on what info you have given.  If you could provide more detailed information like OS, video card manufacuer, verison of PS you are using, etc I could be of better assistance.
