    You have not provided enough information. Perhaps you have a virus. How much ram do you have in your computer? It might time to reinstall your computer.

    1. Is the HDD LED on at the time it freezes?
    2. What are the CPU and GPU temperatures?
    3. If it is only the browser having issues, try another browser. If that solves your problem, disable all addons in your current browser and re-enable them one at a time to identify the culprit.
