Slow browser

[UnicornOnTheCob]

In the past few weeks, Chrome has been insanely slow, like 10 seconds to load a new page slow. In task manager, my CPU is at like 20% load and chrome isn't using any out of the ordinary number for loads or anything. 

It also isn't my internet so it has to be something Chrome specific.

Used to be perfect and I don't have any viruses as far as I (and my PC) know. 

 

Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!!

 

 

CPU : AMD fx 8350 

MB: MSI 970A Krait

When loading up a website, on the bottom left what does it say when you are waiting for the page to load?

Have you tried any other web browsers to confirm if it's a PC issue or just Chrome being slow?

Have you tried switching to Chromes public DNS? Are you on Wifi or wired?

[UnicornOnTheCob]

I just switched but nothing looks to have chaged

Go to your start and search "CMD". Run the CMD as administrator. Then enter the command 

 

netsh winsock reset 

 

Press enter and reboot the PC.

 

Try that.

Try Edge or Firefox. If it still seems like it's Chrome specific, review what extensions you have running and consider reinstalling Chrome. Running Malwarebytes or AVG wouldn't hurt either.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest running a SpeedTest. I'd also suggest to run Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software.

I also ran Malwarebytes and get a few things off but there's little to no change.

Yeah try that, how much RAM you running? Is there anything indicating it could be an issue with RAM?

Based on this then, it's not a Chrome specific issue, because Chrome is outperforming the other browsers, it's still slower though. Are you running Windows 10?

Yes, Windows 10 and i have 16Gb of DDR3 Patriot Viper Memory. Not sure the speeds on it but it may be slow because of the brand and the discount I got on it.

Haven't heard great things about Patriot Viper Memory...do you have any other compatible DDR3 sticks to test?

Are you running Windows 10? Is it an activated version?

Yes, everything is normal, it might be something about the combination of my provider + my computer because the other computers at our house are fine and when I took my pc to a friends house it was faster. 

Thanks for the help guys.
