Comment (by DD32):

 tin68: Are you getting plugin update notices at all? I'm just wondering if
 it could be related to external HTTP requests. It will be a conflict
 between WordPress and your hosting environment, It could be a bug in
 WordPress, or it could be a oddity in the way your host has PHP set up,
 Its a bit hard to tell which without testing.

 Try disabling all external HTTP access:
  1. /wp-includes/http.php
  1. this on about line 210:
 {{{
 function request( $url, $args = array() ) {
   global $wp_version;
 }}}
  1. Change it to:
 {{{
 function request( $url, $args = array() ) {
   return;
   global $wp_version;
 }}}
  1. Save the file and upload to your host, Open the admin again and see
 how things fair, Report back on if its helped or not.
