Starting to sound a bit more like a hardware failure, somehow, or simply a buggy Windows driver.
This is unfortunately common among consumer-grade laptops. I've been bitten by this enough times that I will no longer purchase a consumer-grade laptop; I will only purchase models meant for business. They are usually 2 CPU generations behind, but importantly, everything works and works reliably.

They have the price and (superficially) looks of a macbook pro, but come complete with ridiculously bad displays and shoddy assembly. Mine even have a smartcard reader! One of the good parts, though, is they seem to be one of the rare AMD laptops with no soldered RAM.
