System Specs: System Info - See Your System Specs
Screenshots: Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

Post screenshot of processes list in Task Manager, sorted by CPU.(Click on CPU)

Th3me, First off welcome to Sevenforums. Hopefully we can figure this out in short order.

How old is your pc? If you can, Fill out your system specs (this tool may help you out a great deal).

Is the problem recent or has it always had it? If it is recent, can you think of what may have caused it (or what events led up to the problems)?

Do you have all windows 7 updates installed? Are your drivers installed? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...-your-hardware

*Edit - Stalker beat me to the punch on this one.

But yes, you will want to post a screenshot of your Processes list in task manager, and Stalker showed you how

Th3me,

looks like Chrome is causing a lot of the trouble, it says it has a high CPU rate, doesn't it? You might try reinstalling it or (if that doesn't help) uninstalling it.

Did you have chrome running when you did that test? Each chrome.exe should represent every Chrome tab open when you did the test, as they run on seperate processes. You can change this.

Also, Fill out your system specs (this tool may help you out a great deal).

In addition to dumping Google spyware Chrome, I'd try running a clean boot by unchecking everything in msconfig>Startup except AV, then after reboots do the same in msconfig>Services after Hiding All MS Services. Check back periodically that none have written themselves back in, or else turn them off in Program Preferences or Uninstall.

Watch optional Windows Updates for newer drivers.

Other troubleshooting steps to check over your System thoroughly.

Th3me,
Greg is right, I probably shouldn't have so carelessly suggested removing Chrome. If you use it, like it, and want it, who is to say Chrome is the big problem anyway? Just because it says Chrome, doesn't mean only Chrome can be causing issues. Follow those steps Greg gave you and see what you find out. Also, Greg gave me an idea. What antivirus do you run? Certain AVs have been known to cause internet problems. Does the same problem exist when you use another browser, such as IE?

Before removing any Antivirus to check if that is the problem (Which I won't suggest until I find out which one you have), there are special tools that need to be downloaded first to remove it, so that bits and pieces aren't left behind. McAfee is an example of one that has caused people problems, as well as AVG. I helped remove McAfee for 3 different people in a month alone, solving all of their problems with browsing the web. Let me know what AV you have!

*Edit: Realized just now that Greg meant "In addition to removing" instead of "rather than removing".
