I find that nvidia's installer 'breaks shit every time', and use the '3rd party drivers' applet to change/configure nvidia's binary drivers.

I am doing something similar, but probably not 'restful' for most people.

I too will be off work for 3 months.  Best of luck to you, but I suggest that you stay busy.  Off work, and NOT occupied will make you stir crazy. Give yourself plenty to do, but dont burden or tax yourself.

Yes, especially if the filesystem is not really intended to be used with the larger block size of an SSD, (or if the SSD has a very large native block size.)

Busy/Wait state can take the theoretical max IOPS down real hard.

Windows's IP stack can have malicious shit stuffed in it. It's not straightforward to diagnose either.

Consider running HijackThis! on the sick computer.

You are likely dealing with a 'winsock LSP' item; that's a loadable software package. For reasons only knowable by microsoft, the IP stack (winsock) allows loadable software provider libraries to be chained in. Malware makes heavy use of this, naturally.
