I did see this message though in the console (electrum still works though)...

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26)

Type "electrum -help" for a list of available commands.

Can you search your C:\users\sovereign108 folder (+sub folders) for all occurrences of electrum.dat ? Do you find several?

Just a wild guess, could it be that the BSOD has corrupted some of your directory structure somehow?

Perhaps time to make a fresh profile? I was actually wondering if that 'shadow' window you've been getting is not caused by some corruption in the current profile...
