Do you use any extensions? If so, have you checked with them disabled?

I have the same thing happen and have tried to solve it until I am blue in the face. It happens on my 5 different computers and on multiple networks I work at. I have no idea why this happens or how to solve it. I have disabled extensions, turned off turbo, etc.

yes, its not extensions fault. i think its to do with number of processes in task manager and 8 core cpu, might be wrong tho, changing affinity was the only thing made the difference. have you tried it scottmccarthy945 ?

What kind of antivirus software you're using?

There have been problems with older Opera and some AV programs getting crazy while constantly scanning cache folders (and of course numerous problems with other programs and AV software interferences).

How does Chrome/Chromium behave? Opera is based on same rendering engine.

What version of Opera are you using? If it's v12.x, then ensure this is checked (on):
opera:config#SecurityPrefs|OCSPValidateCertificates

Because with that unchecked, Opera has crippling and random performance issues.

If it's new Opera, never mind.

I reread your first post, noted that 'chrome does same freezing'. Have you tried to ask on Chrome related forums - Chrome has clearly bigger user base and someone may give you better help there.

About CPU affinity - you can create shortcut to start program on specific cores: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/40339-cpu-affinity-shortcut-program-create-windows.html
I can't be sure, does that help with opera/chrome process-per-tab model - but you can experiment. Probably there are more ways.

To rseiler - I have used older and newer version of opera, on all versions same problem

To donq - I will look at this cpu affinity tutorial at next opportunity and will share the outcome, and if it fails will look at chrome forums

Thank you all guys for posts.
