Well, normally my computer behaves very well, but recently it's been plagued with a whole bunch of issues.
First of all, I find that when loading my internet browser (Google Chrome), the page usually freezes and then an alert message pops up saying I should kill the page. I've been having a very hard time accessing different sites through the browser. So, I decided to go to speedtest.net to see if everything was alright. I'm not a tech savvy person, but I looked at my results, and from what I can tell, everything appears to be fine:
Ping: 28ms
Download Speed: 9.72 Mbps
Upload Speed: 0.96 Mbps
When my computer does freeze up, I've had to pull up the task manager to force end the internet browser or whatever else I have open. I should also mention that my computer has been running at less than 10% CPU Usage for the last week, and when running certain programs, like for example, Maple, the CPU Usage either hovers between 0 and 2% or skyrockets to 100% and overheats my computer. The problem has been so bad recently that I've had to manually shut off my computer by pushing down on the on/off button for 10 seconds at least 9 times in the last 3 days.
I've ran CCleaner, cleared registry issues, and even today defragged my computer, but the issues still seem to remain.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Since I'm not tech savvy either, you'll have to not talk in computer lingo (sorry for the inconvenience...I'll get lost if you guys tell me to do all this stuff without explaining how to access certain things >.<)
