Slow internet on new aspire A315-21 caused by high CPU usage, possibly to do with installed SSD?
I got a brand new aspire a little while ago and have had slow internet since I first started using it. I have tried just about everything to fix it and nothing has helped - I ran a speedtest which said I have about 13 mbps down speed and 22 mbps up speed, so on paper it's fast, but when I actually use it can slow down to near dial-up speeds. It has something to do with the fact that my CPU usage jumps up to 100% every time I use the internet and slows my entire computer down. I do use chrome, but I don't think that's the problem as it's just as slow in other browsers, and I don't think it's malware either, or problems with the adapter or wifi card. This laptop is very similar to my previous laptop (a Dell inspiron), the only real difference being the fact that the store I bought it from gave it an authorized upgrade and installed an SSD (in addition to the 1TB HDD), which is where all the system files are stored by default. I have no idea why this would cause it to be so slow, but this is the only thing I can see that is different about my previous laptop, which had normal connection speeds.. I would really appreciate any suggestions on what might be wrong and how I could fix this?
