Solve : Computer sometimes freezes for 10-20 seconds?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hey,<br/> <br/>I recently did a hardware upgrade to my pc and it started freezing sometimes, I can't even move my mouse around. I tried updating <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/drivers-21170" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DRIVERS">DRIVERS</a>, BIOS, checking disk for errors, memory test, reinstalling windows and nothing helped so far. Event Logs show no errors aswell.<br/> <br/> <br/>MB: Asus Prime Z370-A<br/> <br/>CPU: Intel i5-8600K<br/> <br/>GPU: MSI GTX970 GAMING 4G<br/> <br/>RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB<br/> <br/>SSD: SAMSUNG EVO 850 250GB<br/> <br/>OS: Windows 10 Pro 1809<br/> <br/>Additional information:<br/> <br/></p><ul><li>Task manager and other programs don't show any indications of power drops or spikes.<br/>The freezes started happening after changing my hardware (MB, CPU, RAM)<br/>Power Savings are disabled and on High Performance<br/>Tried increasing virtual memory to no avail<br/>When computer unfreezes I hear HDD working sound for a few seconds (only movies are on hdd, so that was strange because I haven't even opened the disk and I've also noticed it only once because it was the first <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/time-19467" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TIME">TIME</a> that I decided to "listen to the system" when it unfreezes).<br/>Freezes happen once every 1-2 days</li><li></li></ul>Anything in the Windows Event Logs to point out a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/trouble-344061" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TROUBLE">TROUBLE</a> area? Most systems that act like this start to report over and over in the event logs about an issue.<br/><br/>Also you mention hard drive makes a sound but i dont see it listed in your hardware list, I just see the SSD. What Hard Drive make/model are you using?<br/><br/>Is this SSD new to the equation as well or has it been running without problems on a prior build you had? I'd check drive health for all SSD and HDD's with CrystalDiskInfo. A delayed <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/write-746491" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WRITE">WRITE</a> issue can cause symptoms like you have, which would also be listed in the Windows Event Logs. Delayed Write errors are generally a failing drive, however I had once a power supply that was borderline causing the drives to hiccup and list as delayed writes and so I swapped drives to later find out that the power supply itself was tripping them up to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/error-25548" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ERROR">ERROR</a> yet the rest of the components kept running and no BSOD.Hello, I was using SSD and HDD both prior the change. Nothing in the event logs, here's what I've tried so far:<br/><br/><ul><li>Updating/Downgrading/Resetting BIOS<br/>Changing virtual memory size<br/>Upgrading chipset and other drivers<br/>Disabling hardware acceleration on Chrome<br/>Using another browser itself (as I thought Chrome was the issue)<br/>Re-seating CPU/GPU/RAM into same or different slots<br/>Trying different SATA cables<br/>Trying another SSD<br/>Unplugging HDD<br/>Unplugging GPU<br/>Memtest 2 times, one with 4 and another with 8 passes<br/>Checking temperatures (they are fine)<br/>Running stress test on CPU/RAM and GPU (no issues)<br/>Disabling Power Savings<br/>Disabling C-Steps<br/>Updating SSD firmware</li><li></li></ul><br/>And I've even have a speccy snapshot ran from safe mode: <a href="http://speccy.piriform.com/results/UqftTs2ALRoYNb2KncRgjbi">http://speccy.piriform.com/results/UqftTs2ALRoYNb2KncRgjbi</a></body></html>
