Computer slowdown
« on: April 23, 2016, 03:40:04 AM »
After a rest period, my computer slows down after about 30 minutes of use (then alternates between working pretty well and crawling). After a boot check with Avast, I suspect it's a hardware issue and not a virus issue, but I wanted to get a second opinion. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I got chromium from the source. But I got rid of it for opera now.

Anyways, attaching log. I think I narrowed down the problem, but gotta experiment...

Still, thanks for the help confirming.
