ITunes keeps on locking up...HELP.

Question

Hey guys,
Recently iTunes has been locking up a lot and I had to press altctrldel and stop the process. It keeps on saying Not Responding every time I try to exit and it is not doing anything. I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and its associated applications, but I have still had the problem and do not know why it is happening. I have a relatively fast computer with 3.0 ghz P4 processor and 2 gbs or Ram. I don't understand why this is happening. Let me know if you have a solution. Thanks
What I've done so far:
-Checked for plug-ins and removed, there were none
-Recreated iTunes library
-Removed iTunes preference files
-Uninstalled iTunes and associated apps and reinstalled
-Checked for Viruses, spyware, adware....etc

I just got an iPod Touch for Christmas, and halfway through loading my CDs onto it, iTunes now locks up without fail. I cannot even complete one CD without having to restart my computer. This pretty much renders iTunes completely worthless and disallows me from adding my music. Please advise soon or I'll be forced to return all of the products I have purchased.
