What browser are you using? Have you tried other browsers to see if it happens with them?
If it works okay in safe mode it's very unlikely to be a browser issue.

A NIC is the Network Interface Card, nowadays usually build into the motherboard.
Killer is a brand name of supposedly enhanced NICs. The manual will tell you if you've had one inflicted on you.
What model of motherboard is it?
Its a Gigabyte X99 SLi
Gigabyte sell 12 different models of X99 motherboard!
It'll have a model number something like GA-X99P-SLI or GA-X99-SLI.
That's good. Some of their X99 boards do have Killer NICs (and they are awful!).
Make sure the drivers are up to date. It's an Intel NIC so I'd try the drivers Gigabyte are offering and also a direct download from Intel if you find them.
If that doesn't help get all of the start-up items disabled and narrow down the guilty application.
Did it ever work properly?
The only time I've seen something similar, it was caused by automatic proxy. Did you ensure you disabled it in both in Control Panel -> Internet Options and also within the settings of whichever browser you're using (Chrome)?
Odds are there was a malicious or malfunctioning extension.
