This occurrence happens more frequently now than it did in the past. I mainly find that my computer slows down drastically when I watch YouTube, or, videos on Facebook.
I would have to say that it mostly happens when I watch videos on both browsers chrome and Firefox. Once it slows down the only way I can seem to bring it back is by restarting the machine. Even after I close the browser and run bleach-bit to clear the cache and what-not, the computer remains slow.
I tried disconnecting the internet connection and that doesn't fix it.
I tried restarting (successfully), but, that doesn't fix the problem either.
The system monitor doesn't show anything unusual running and even logging out and then back in does not seem to fix the issue up. As soon as I reboot, the system runs as smooth as ever.
Once I go to YouTube and watch a couple videos, the computer eventually just starts running really slow and never recoups from it till I reboot.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

to see CPU usage. On Firefox you could disable all the extensions/plugins and checkabout:memory
