Asus Zenbook 10GB RAM, Intel CPU, SSD, Windows 10
What's happening ?
When connected to internet wirelessly and doing some more heavy stuff like Youtube, Torrent download, Google Maps or just simply browsing pages with lot's of JS my PC started to freeze
What means freeze ?
Everything reacts super slow, even cursor is moving very laggy and in case I listen music (doesn't matted if from youtube or hdd) I even hear laggy distorted digital sounds...
The problem is, that after "heavy task" everything gets back to normal instantly. When I'm disconnected, I can do anything, even edit large videos no problem.
Despite it might looks like some crappy virus or so, I'm sure is not. I wiped out computer several times, tried Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, nothing helps. Also task manager shows CPU and RAM in normal values. Also I've made disk check, no bad sectors.
I am pretty much sure that this must be only faliure of HW, but have no idea what might cause this. I would suspect Wireless adapter, but I've tried to make USB hotspot with my Android and it was the same.
Please help me get out that problem. Thank you!

First would you check this setting:
Press and hold the Windows button ( lower left corner )
Choose Device Manger
Click on the network adapter to expand the list
Right click on the adapter and choose properties
Click the power management tab
if "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is checked please remove it and press OK
Repeat this procedure for any additional network adapters listed.
