N.B.: I consulted all the discussions on the site regarding this topic before posting. I also presented my issue to "Google Chrome," which redirected me to this site, claiming to be concerned only with problems directly related to Google.
When opening a web page, Google Chrome takes a long time to display it (about 30 or 40 seconds). The message "waiting for cache to display" appears in the bottom left of the window. The problem is also found on Firefox. And when a page starts to load indefinitely, if I close it, my PC refuses to open any other program for a certain amount of time (about as long as it takes to display a web page). Occasionally, the pages even end up "not responding." This issue is only inherent to one specific PC. I have a second computer, a laptop, and it does not suffer from this problem. It has never experienced it.
I have done some research and none of the proposed solutions have allowed me to resolve this issue. I cleared the cache, all browsing history, used CCleaner, cleaned my hard drive, defragmented (only 5% fragmented), disabled the option "predict network actions to improve page loading performance", I do not use a proxy, my firewall and antivirus allow Google Chrome, and no virus is detected on my machine (Windows Security Essentials, recommended by a computer technician).
I have a gaming-oriented PC: 8-core processor, 16 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 7870 graphics card, liquid cooling... In short, the whole package ^^. I am connected via ethernet, my router was changed a month ago, and this is the third time I have encountered this problem. In previous instances, clearing the cache was sufficient. I have also reinstalled my Windows 7.
While using the task manager, I noticed that when the opening of a web page hangs, the networking is practically nonexistent. It stays at 0% for a long time, spikes to 2 or 3.4% for half a second, and eventually launches normally after about thirty seconds.
Could this be due to the network card on my motherboard? Otherwise, does anyone have a lead?

It must not be the best time to get some help...^^
No worries, I think it's definitely a motherboard issue: I just connected via Wi-Fi and I have no problems anymore.
I don’t think it’s related to my Ethernet cable. It’s practically new, and the few times the connection worked, I had full network access.
So, in summary, for those who might encounter the same problem, here are some steps to follow:
- Clear the cache (in the "tools" tab of Google Chrome, or with the shortcut "ctrl+F5"). However, it's better to do a good cleaning with CCleaner.
- Disable the option "predict network actions to improve page load performance" (in the "settings" tab of Google Chrome).
- Check the Proxy settings (for those who use one) and the firewall (in the "network and Internet" menu of your control panel).
- Check for viruses with a thorough scan (personally, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, as it’s free and recommended by an IT professional).
- Change your type of connection: if you're on Ethernet, switch to Wi-Fi, and vice versa. For those who can't do this, check the status of the "networking" with the "task manager" (shortcut "ctrl+alt+del"). If it stays at 0% for more than ten seconds before displaying a web page, it’s likely a hardware issue.
