Have you tried leaving your Mac for a good 5-10 minutes? That might be just what you need...if not, I guess it's time to start up in Target Disk mode, back up your stuff, format and do a clean install.
It's possible that com.apple.finder.plist has become corrupted in the install - deleting it may fix your problem. You can delete it with TDM or single user mode. Have you tried a safe boot?
