So quick list of my components:
Intel 8700K
Asus Z370a Prime
Tt RGB Powersupply

So for the past couple of mohts ive been bumping into my PC Freezing on me. Typically notice it while watching movies or youtube as when it freezes the entire system locks up and the audio goes to [censored]. But no BSOD or power downs, it just freezes and rebounds. Not sure if its the Mobo or the CPU or PSU but last night i did notice a sound coming from the back of the PC that sounded like Pops or cracks.

What should i do, please help?

Preliminary tests:
Intel CPU test comes back clean
All BIOS and Firmware as well as drivers up to date
When the freeze does occur nothing is logged in window's Logs
MEMTested RAM - CLEAN

Planning on getting an EVGA 850G+ PSU Today to test it out with another PSU.
No Spare MOBO or CPU on hand
