Where is my problem,modem,computer,etc.?

Computer is a 5 year old e-machine. Has worked perfect untill a week ago. At first it was just Facebook acting up but nothing else. Did a modem & router(for laptop upstairs)reset and that fixed it. Now yesterday and today Facebook and all other pages load up very slow. I use Google Chrome and other than Facebook and browsing that's pretty much all I do.

Did a full reset and did not fix the problem. No virus or malware. Checked both. So do you think the problem could be the modem(all lights look normal),router or is the computer the problem? Through all of this it has never dropped the internet signal. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Many thanks for your help!
 
ramirez, Is this the same thing as clearing the browsing history? I do that about every 2 days.

johnb35, My wifes laptop works just fine during the same time. I did take the cover off and cleaned the fan pretty good but it was not that dirty because I usually clean it every 2 months. But since doing this the computer has worked just fine. But I have a feeling that could change. Thanks for your input!
 
How is general computer speed when not browsing? I would suspect a proxy setting or perhaps a bad browser add on is installed. Have you tried using a different browser?
 
Clear browser history. Disable browser plugins. Disable browser extensions. Disable hardware acceleration. Disable network prediction. Delete bookmarks. Did you trying do these steps for Chrome??
 
If none of those work I'd try an Ubuntu LiveCD and see if you can utilize the NIC properly. That would tell you whether it's a software/configuration issue or hardware.
 
Well as of today the computer is running perfect. Didn't really do much to it. All i really did was clean the fan out. Was not that dirty. Something was making it act up yesterday. I run the speccy program and my temps are alway normal. Here are the temps: CPU-21c MB-34c HD-37c. From what I have read all within normal range.

Glad to hear it.....temps are actually really good
 
What specific CPU is it? Some of the AMD ones were inaccurate at idle but more accurate at load.
