Hi my name's Alex and I have been having a problem with my computer freezing every minute or so and then staying like that for around 3-20 seconds. however during this time I can move my mouse, it just seems to be the programs that are frozen. Also despite getting a new internet upgrade and full connectivity my internet browsing experience has been rather slow as well. Anything I can do? thanks.

Hi alex-oates and :)
You need to provide information about your computer (answer what you can), this includes is it a laptop or desktop, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP if it is provide the model name or series number (not serial) motherboard , PSU and any add on card providing these details will enable others to better assist you.
There is more than one cause of the symptoms you describe, provide the requested details and it will give us a better idea, thank you.
