PC will not run select programs? ("hourglass" for 2 sec, then nothing)

I'll include the Hardware part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Windwalker156/saved/#view=n2Nbt6

Now then, about a week or so ago, I ran into a problem. I try to open up some programs (Star Citizen, Sims 4, Origin, Raptr) and the PC will act like it's launching for a few seconds, then will continue on as if I didn't press anything.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Origin to test out if that would solve anything. It didn't.
I went to the actual file location and ran it as admin. Nope.
I uninstalled the programs i've installed since then that I remember, just in case that may be causing the issue. Nothing.
I went to the firewall and changed the firewall to allow them in both private and public networks. Still nothing.

It's become an annoyance to the point where I'm now at a loss. I'm sure there are other programs that I can no longer launch that I haven't tried yet.

I have a feeling it's a driver issue, but I'm not sure. My GPU manager seems to be acting strange as well. If there is anything you can find, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Have you used any Registry cleaners recently?? If so, that could explain your problem.

Have you tried using System Restore? Do you make image backups of your system? If all else fails, you may just have to reinstall.

try reinstalling directx if it damaged or a file was over written some games may not launch.
