I returned from the cottage after being absent for a week and turned on my computer and now it is freezing momentarily. If I am downloading the speeds go down, it does not look like a network problem because the laptop we run off a router runs fine on the internet. I do not get any BSOD's. It freezes for a few minutes or 30 or seconds and then resumes working properly. Any idea what could be causing this. I scanned using malwarebytes but to no avail. I notice my memory usage is almost full meaning I have 2 gigs of ram, half of it is cached and half of it is being used leaving only a few megabytes, that may be the norm as I am checking right now while the computer is running fine.
There are 62 processes running according to task manager. There is something called windows media player network sharing service which I just cancelled.
If I run youtube and it freezes it says shockwave flash plugin has crashed.
I honestly have no idea what caused this and it is frustrating. We just moved and obviously the internet moved with us but it does not seem like a network problem but how would I tell.
thanks so much
