Momentary freeze when opening chrome and certain settings. Solution?

MaverickNathan1

Okay, so my Predator is almost brand new but I have been experiencing this freezing issue since I bought this thing. I have done a BIOS update and even a clean install of my OS once including installing/uninstalling certain Windows updates but nothing seems to fix this. 

The problems are specific. Firstly, the machine always remain frozen between the time I click on the icon to open chrome and when chrome actually opens, which is about a second or 1.5 seconds. Also, when I open the notifications panel for the first time after booting up, there's a one second freeze. Also some random cursor lags here and there when some program is being loaded onto the memory and such. These aren't earth-shattering problems but annoyances nevertheless and I'd love to be rid of them.

Try this...
Cold reboot laptop (with fast startup option turned off under power settings).
Give it about 20-30 seconds to settle down after desktop appears.
Start task manager.
Give it a few seconds to allow entries to come in it. Capture a screenshot of task manager.
While it is still open, click on Chrome.
After chrome is fully only, capture the task manager screen shot and see where the hiccup was... atleast on a basic level it should be able to say if it was a processing issue or a disk issue... or whatever.

I am not saying this would solve your issue, but could be a first step in trying to identify the issue.
