Help Help! Apps Keep Stopping!

I don't know what's going on with my tablet. Many of the game apps that I previously had no problems with are stopping immediately after they've launched: "Unfortunately, [app name] has stopped working." I've also started having issues with my Hulu app, the video streaming was suddenly choppy; I've already contacted Hulu support about it, but I wonder if those issues are linked with my other app problems.

I have reset to factory settings twice, and it hasn't made a difference. Even if I download the problem apps immediately after resetting, before I download anything else, they still stop. The second time I reset, I did not allow any back ups to be restored, just in case something (A virus? A software conflict?) was being carried over.

I've had Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and AVG Anti-Virus running, neither found any problems before I reset.

My tab is running Android 4.2.2.

Is it possible that my tab has just reached the end of its life? I've only had it less than a year, and it was practically new when I got it. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance for your assisstance.
