excellent progress..
We've now confirmed that this is a software issue.. Whether it be viruses or some run away driver/service/app, we should remove the possibility of viruses first..
What I would do now, is while in Safe Mode with Networking, download and install Malwarebytes (it's free)... Click on the "update" tab and update to make sure your using the latest definitions...Run the scan.. Download, install, update, and run "Spybot Search and Destroy" (do not install the "tea timer" when you install spybot).... Run both of these, and if it finds/removes malware, try browsing again in normal mode and see what you get... If the anti-virus software doesn't find any malware, just post back...
