Windows 7 applications contently not responding

[alexfx]

Hello, just recently applications have stooped responding contently. Seems to be on every app, notepad, Google chrome, gimp etc...

What I have tried:
Scanned for viruses: none
Ran ccleaner
Defraged my HDD
ran sfc /scannow
ran windows updates
Nothing in event viewer expect telling me blender has crashed

Everything was working fine for the past 6 months till yesterday but nothing has changed!

Any suggestions?

HAve you installed anything recently in the way of programs or drivers? Perhaps a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html might do the trick.

Fixed...

After un-installing the usb3 drivers for the on board USB3 port everything is much faster and have had no applications crash...
