Screen freezes while surfing on chrome

[Ohbollocks]

Hi all, 

 

I recently am encountering this problem whereby I am just surfing on Google Chrome and often, when I am switching tabs, the screen just freezes and becomes unresponsive. The mouse still moves but everything else stays in place. At times, everything would resume after a few seconds where else there are times when a reset is needed. It is only after one of the major windows 10 updates that I received a few days ago that seems to have done a major overhaul to some of the interface that this problem is plaguing me to the point I have to reset my computer about 6 times a day. 

 

I suspect this issue is due to some form of ram or memory allocation whereby something in the background seems to be running which then freezes and jam my screen. Does any one have any experience or advise on how I ought to solve this?

 

Some specs I have are

- Windows 10 64 bit

- Intel I5 3500k 

- AMD R9 280

- 8gb of Ram 

 

Thank you!
