Computer out of nowhere has slowed down quite a bit. It appears to be Chrome that is causing the issues. At least according to "top"

Used dmesg to watch it for a few moments and no errors. I watched top for a few momrents while typing this and it goes up to above 60% CPU usage for chome. Is this a known issue? Please help. I use this computer for research and it is essentially unusable as is.

Running Ubuntu 16.04LTS with Celeron N2830. I understand it is a cheaper computer but when i first installed the distro it was running beautifully.

Also have 4 gb of RAM

Any help is appreciated.

Backup your data and replace the HDD.
