I'm having a recent problem that's been driving me insane, it's only been happening for the past week or two but I'm trying to figure out the problem and am hoping to get some help. For starters, it sounds like the exact same problem this guy had over on this site:

The depressing part is that I don't know if he ever found out what caused his problem... similarly to that post, my temperatures are fine, my GPU driver is not out-dated, I've cleaned out any dust that would be in the GPU at the time as I assume this to only be a GPU problem over any other hardware - if it's not a software problem, I don't know.
Am hoping to be able to cooperate and figure this out, it's hard to study or focus on exams as they come closer when my computer is going through something I don't understand and it's frustrating to me.
Please help me with this, I'd be grateful to anyone who can give legitimate feedback and help, I'll post any info that's needed.
[Maybe useful update?] - I left a game on and observed the temperature to reaffirm that it's not the fans or temperature of either CPU, Motherboard or GPU - at the same time I think it notable that while the game was minimized, everything on my desktop reacted slowly in a way that felt unnatural, like, my RAM usage was just literally 25% of my 16GB DDR3 that I have and the CPU load and GPU load was not heavy and yet Icon and Mouse reactions (Like hovertips of Shortcuts on my desktop were slow) That sounds....very weird to me, maybe a hint?
