Maybe you should do a clean Windows install. I'm not sure :/.

I agree - this is pretty much a fix-all for all problems not hardware related. Take an hour or two and reinstall the OS and put your stuff back on and it'll feel like a brand new PC again. Sometimes I do it when there's not even a problem - helps me keep all my stuff organized.
