My desktop is acting strange?

I will be on Google Chrome on my desktop, and out of nowhere, it will freeze my entire computer.

I cannot CTRL+ALT+Delete, I can't open task manager, I can't do anything.

Every single time I restart my computer, it continues to do this.

I have Windows 7. This is the first time it has done this to me.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

Now it's doing it even if I am not on the internet.

    if a computer freezes immediately then it's most likely due to defective ram.

    remove all ram sticks except one, then try again. try all sticks, only one at a time until the computer freezes again. then you have found the defective stick that you have to replace.

    when changing ram sticks shut the computer always down and remove the power cable. before changing ram sticks touch the computer case inside with both hands on a metallic part.

    Do you have antivirus software installed in your computer? You could possibly have a virus and need to run a scan on your computer. You could also try to uninstall and reinstall google chrome or use another browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    You definitely have a virus necause that also happened to me....

    The solution to this is for you to use another browser like opera for instance and of course running an antivirus program...
