PC problem - Browser blocks

Whenever I use a browser (IE, chrome), my other running applications are blocked, even explorer.exe. By block I mean you can't click, interact with it as if it has a status "Not Responding".

But if I close my browser, applications can continue to run. As if my browser steal all the CPU?

Any help how to fix it?

Windows 7

This is a system bug, how does it have anything to do with computer specs? :?

It was psychobabble. Restart if you haven't if it persists do a scan. If that doesn't find anything try reinstalling one of them.

what kind of scan? It seems like there's a bug with the process explorer. But I don't want to reinstall the whole Windows just for it

Anti-virus.

WTf? Reinstall windows? Just reinstall the browser.

Did you restart?

Try to end the explorer.exe in the Task Manager.

Then rerun explorer.exe (Start + r then enter explorer.exe)

Also telling us what apps take more cpu would be good. (anything with above 50% or at a decent amount to piss you off)
