So, I was looking through some other forum posts about my same exact issue. I found a thread in which lot of people were experiencing the same exact issue as mine. Further down the thread, somebody mentioned their mouse causing the problem. The next post someone mentioned this,
'Hey. I had the same problem and it turned out to be a constantly-pressed side button of the mouse.'
Upon reading this, a great giant nuke of a light bulb came on in my head and I realized that the issue began occurring ever since my side mouse button began acting up. What the problem was with the mouse is that I would barely touch it and the page I was browsing would go back a page. I also experienced this in teamspeak where my microphone button was lit up even though I was not pressing the button. I pressed the button to try to turn off the open microphone I had but no luck. At that moment I muted my microphone and thought nothing of it.
I tried replicating the issue by hitting ctrl+alt+delete and canceling task manager so that I have no hang/freeze occurring at the moment. I go open up a browser, go forward a couple pages. I quickly hover my mouse over the bottom right notification icons to make sure everything still works. Then I hit the mouse button. I hover down in the bottom right and viola..the freeze occurred.
Funny thing about the mouse thing, I actually ordered a new mouse to replace my current mouse before realizing my fix to the issue.
Once again, thank you both for the kind help!
Did your computer fail to open a DMG file? We explain what DMG files are and recommend software that we know can open or convert your DMG files.What is a DMG file?
DMG files are files that are treated like actual hard disks by the Macintosh OS X operating system. These files can be created with Disk Copy, burned to a CD or even mounted as a normal volume on Macintosh computers. They often contain raw blocks of data that are usually compressed for easier file management.
Some .dmg files may be encrypted in addition to being compressed, for added file security. These files are often used by software installers that download applications from the Internet to a user's computer.
The Oracle export and import utility, used by Oracle databases, also uses the .dmg file extension for database dump files that are stored a binary file format.
