Hi, Ankit:
That sounds like a very tough problem to try and fix over the forum.
Did you try running the system restore utility?
Please see this link below and see if running system restore works. Pick a restore point to a time before you had the problem and see what happens.

If that doesn't work, I think your only other choice is to back up your files and do a system recovery to factory specs.
