Not a problem at all. :)
Please go into your installed programs and check your installations of Java. The latest version is v8u91. You'll want to manually uninstall any older versions, and then get the latest one if you don't already have it.
Also, check Plex, Kodi and Tight VNC for any updates.
Vuse torrenting could indeed be your problem, but I can't say for sure.
You could just leave Task Manager open and check those things occasionally, to see if anything flags itself.
If it continues, I would try the clean boot I suggested in post #8. That would pinpoint the problem for you. Based on your reports, the hard drive is in good shape, and not the issue.
Let us know how it goes.
