The disk errors suggest the possibilities that either your disk needs repair via Disk Utility, or maybe the disk is failing. Either of these possibilities could explain the behavior you observe. To check out the former, startup in recovery mode by holding command-r at startup. Then select Disk Utility, then repair your disk.

So if you can recover your disk as CT suggests you should bump your RAM to 8 GB and install an SSD. I've done this on 7 machines so far the earliest, a 2006 iMac and here's my personal early 2011 MBP 13" w/ 8 GB RAM and a 120 GB SSD 6 G all from OWC:

You can see the many windows and desktops I have up.

Of course it's also running Mavericks 10.9.5 since I've been avoiding Yosemite from what I see around here.

Thanks!

I've ran disk utility a couple of time before, but not in recovery mode. I am hoping this does the trick (although it's pinwheeled while I was typing this), but I am suspecting the HD as well, so if it persists, then I guess it really might need replacing. pffft....

Have a look at the system log via Console (in the Utilities folder). There will be way too much info there, but if you see complaints around about the pinwheel times you might get a hint. If you see complaints about I/O errors that usually means a disk failure.
