I've seen other similar issues, and it has been either a hard drive problem or a memory stick issue. Anyway, my computer runs great, though I do think it's been much slower lately when booting up and opening programs. However, it'll be running fine and all of a sudden when browsing on Chrome new tabs won't load, windows won't refresh, it acts as if it's thinking without an internet connection. However, I'll then pull up a program like Word, Skype, or Steam and have them completely freeze on me also. This lasts for about a minute, sometimes two, and then everything will snap out of it and load again. I've never had this issue while playing a game, but it happens all the time while doing random work on the computer such as browsing the internet and communicating on Skype.
Is this a hard drive issue? It's very old. Instead of buying a new hard drive when I built the current PC it's on, i'm using the hard drive from an older computer. Maybe 5 years old now.
I would also like to mention that my processor seems to be working a lot harder than normal. I've been hearing the fans a lot more than normal lately. Normal processor temps have been at about 40C, with them getting upwards of 60C when playing games. They don't come close to reach 60C when doing random things.
I appreciate any help you can offer! Thank you!
