Framerate Drop/not Responding

So... this just happened. Every time my character does anything besides walking (attacking, opening a bag) the framerate drops to 0. Changing areas? The game is not responding. Restarting the game? Not responding.

Even after 4 years this piece of crap manages to amaze me with glitches, any idea what this is about?
"From the realms below we ride,
And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Any changes you made to your computer/game between the times when it last worked "properly" and this? My guess would be some graphic driver updates since those often do things like these.
Time Zones - Alignments - Name Generator
NWN 2 Mechanics - PnP Mechanics - Dice Roller
Character Builder - 2nd edition Monster Database - Monster Finder

No, it happened during the middle of the fight and it kept on going after a restart. Since Dota2 is also acting odd, I either got a virus or my driver is glitched.

Hard drive errors. Malware. Higher than usual sunspot activity?

Its too hard to say really. Try and find a common element.

Hmmm... you're not low on disk space are you? Problem with swap file perhaps... run out of space so it can't cache anything.

Also take a look at your system resources and processes when the game is running. What is taking what. How much memory are you using, how much swap space is being used, etc.

If you get something like perfmon you can also see what is accessing your disks i think.

300mb Nvidia update queued up, think I found the problem.
