This jogged my memory about dependencies:
It wouldn't hurt to open Services; A short refresher on how to get there.it gave a new error message of 'some services stop automatically if they aren't in use by other services or programmes'
- >Go to Start Orb click on Run in the right panel and type/copy/paste services.msc
- >Click on OK,
- >When open go to and right click on Windows Search then click on Properties, when open click on the Dependencies tab.
- >Check to see if the DCOM Process Server Launcher and the RPC Endpoint Mapper are both set to Started Status and Startup Type is Automatic.
- If you need to make any changes go to either entry there in Services, then right click >Properties > General Tab.
- Reference: My Windows Search service is set to Started , Automatic (Delayed Start).

Ranger4, LevelBest; Did I miss the fact that you have an SSD installed?? I don't see it anywhere in this thread or your system specs, perhaps it's in another thread of yours that Ranger4 saw??
I just noticed; Looking at your system specs I see you only have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit listed, and not Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (SP1) 64 Bit.
- Do you have SP1 installed and it is an error of omission that you do not have it listed correctly in your specs?
The reason I ask is, I am going to offer this website: Black Viper’s Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Service Configurations | Black Viper | www.blackviper.com to help you make sure your Services are set correctly and under which column to look.
To cut the clutter you can go to the Show/hide Columns button to the top right of the lists, click on it and deselect the operating system columns you don't need. You will also note there is no entry for RPC Endpoint Mapper, but its executable path [-k rpcss] is the same as Black Viper's Remote Procedure Call [RPC] entry.
After covering as much ground as we have, one of the last items I can think of would be to create a new User Account in case there is a corruption problem with the one you're using, Option One or Three, you can't use two because Home Premium doesn't have a group policy editor: User Account - Create You would need at least a standard or administrator account not guest.
For later if you decide to: How to Delete a User Account in Windows 7
The "last item?" a Repair Install
