No, all a clean boot does is remove almost everything that is started at boot; programs and such. If you boot fast, and all is ok, you put the programs back slowly, so we see which is the problem.

Under services I clicked hide microsoft services and disabled all the remaining services. I didn't want any of them and I am currently restarting. I hope it was one of those services causing the problwm
