freeze at game

Hello, I've noticed in the last day or two I tend to get the occasional, brief freeze/ stutter while playing games (Black Myth, Jedi Survivor). Typically while changing areas. I figured this was just a quirk of loading, although I do play my games on an NVME drive so that did seem odd...

Hey all, first time posting in a forum like this, apologies if any of this is out of order, i usually am able to solve my issue by googling it, but I've been stuck for over a week now. I feel like there may be enough info to kinda pinpoint whats wrong, but I'm not tech savvy enough to figure it...
