Running 2 firewalls at the same time is not recommended - it can confuse what
programs are permitted/denied on what firewall.

I strongly suspect that this is your video card driver (but it could be
other things) as it reminds me of problems that I've had in the past.

Go to www.nvidia.com and download the latest WHQL certified drivers (WHQL is
needed because it's certified by Microsoft to work with your hardware).
Uninstall your video card software in Add/Remove Programs, then go to Device
Manager (Start...Run...devmgmt.msc) and uninstall your video card. Then
reboot your system.

The system should detect your video card again and ask to install drivers.
Point it at the new drivers that you've downloaded and let it install them.
Then reboot and see if the problem is gone.

Please let us know how this works for you.
