Hi.

Does it happen with another browser or just in chrome?

While waiting for the answer of the experts in the subject, try to uninstall chrome, clean with cclener and reinstall chrome, try as it goes.

If it happens again clean with adwcleaner (tools - options, check the boxes to restore when restarting)

It just seems to happen with Chrome only. I use Firefox with extensions like Adblock Plus and NoScript for general browsing and it runs just fine. Chrome I tend to use only for online shopping and social media. If this keeps happening with Chrome I might get rid of it and use another browser altogether.

I'll try your recommendation over the weekend though, thanks!

Also, have you tried a factory reset on your router / modem?
