I do not actually know precisely when, but it's likely under a month because this problems showed up. I do not exactly understand what's causing the issue. Every now and then, Mozilla firefox freezing would only freeze for some time. I must wait till it unfreezes to be able to do anything . It occurs fairly regularly on youtube, in which the movie only freezes (although the sound is acting good ) and now I must wait around for a little to have the video gets moving again. However, I understand this is not a movie just issue. Even easy tabs freeze up sometimes.

It typically sits at approximately 9% to 15 percent based what I am doing (being around reddit, or viewing movies on youtube), however if this freeze occurs, the CPU usage will spike up to 60 percent. My CPU is a i7-6700hq skylake notebook CPU, using a GTX 1060 GPU. So far I've tried:
