Computer/Game Freezing For 30 Seconds At a Time

[Yellow-Marquee]

Hi, I've become very frustrated as for the past 2 weeks or so it is sometimes strictly my games, but sometimes my entire computer freezes and is unusable for ~30 seconds exactly. It is rarely only a few seconds, and usually happens approximately once every hour or 2 hours on average, but can happen multiple times within a short time span.

I just did a complete reformat, updated all my drivers and ran a virus scan, it is still occurring. My temps *may* or may not be on the higher side, however I use a gaming laptop (HP Omen 2015) and these freeze-ups commonly do happen as soon as I start up my laptop for the first time of the day, where I assume temps are going to be normal.

Would appreciate any help, thanks

Any clues?

might be a ram issue, games will freeze if you don't have enough ram as they will need to catch up

I have 8GB of ram and this only became a problem recently. Is there a definitive test I can take to see whether or not I need more ram?

Nothing?

Nothing?

Download HD Sentinel and check your HDD through that program.

I don't have an HDD though, I only have one SSD.

Does that program work for SSD's?
