My computer will hang and freeze quite a bit using certain programs. The disk usage will go to 100% and it will freeze for about a minute or two and then start working like nothing happened. I noticed it will do it a lot if i use chrome, or opera, but it won't do it with firefox. Also it will do it if i play saints row IV on my HDD instead of playing it on my SSD, but i can play games such as battlefield 4 and skyrim with mods off my HDD without problems. Does anyone have any idea why it does that with certain programs?
My specs are
Windows 8.1
fx-8320 4.0ghz OC
adata xpg v2 1866mhz 2x4gb
gigabyte ga-970a-ds3p
gigabyte windforce OC gtx 770 2gb
apevia warlock 900w psu
toshiba DT01ACA100 1tb HDD
pny xlr8 120gb SSD

Do you have the latest versions of the Browsers? is Win up to date? Checked for malware and also a virus scan? Checked for unwanted add-ons to the browsers?

I have disabled everything in chrome but still freeze. Everything is up to date and no viruses or malware.


Also I tried using the internet explorer desktop mode that comes with windows 8 and that doesn't freeze compared to google chrome.
