So couple of days ago I started having problems with my Win7 SP1 64bit, whenever I'm opening video files (like mkv) PC starts working very slowly (refreshing the desktop takes couple minutes, opening task manager takes even longer) and in the end I often need to force restart it. VLC player opens up, but doesn't show video nor sound. Same problem happens when trying to open mp3 and pdf files. PC works just fine until I try to open one of those files (I can play games and play videos on youtube just fine). Also in the task manager - performance tab doesn't show anything wrong and in event viewer I see critical errors just from Kernel-power when I'm restarting the PC forcefully. In errors tab these shows up: NvStreamSvc

These are the three errors that I got last time this happened.

My PC specs:
Windows 7 64bit SP1
Processor- AMD Phenom II X6 1050T
Motherboard- ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
8Gb DDR3 RAM
GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 4Gb
PSU - Corsair VS650

I hope that's enough information to suggest what may cause the problem and sorry for my English, please excuse all silly mistakes that I make :)

I wonder if reinstalling windows will erase this problem, I just want to leave it as a last resort.

Thank you.

Already scanned with couple different antivirus and they found nothing. I'll check the system once I get home, but if that will be the case, what could have happened if on the monday morning everything worked fine and in the evening this started to happen?

Running system check did not solve the problem. :(
