Computer Randomly Locks Up For 1-5 Seconds No Crash

[legostar1318]

My computer keeps randomly hanging, it will stop responding for about 1-5 seconds then resume like nothing happened. I tried reinstalling windows, getting new RAM since I was due for an upgrade there anyways, and running memtest 86 and Prime 95 to verify it and the CPU are good, but at this point I don't have anything else I can think of that is easily testable. That leaves my GPU, my PSU, and my SSD. My specs are an EVGA FTW 1080ti hybrid, a water cooled Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB of G.Skill 3200 cl14 B die, and EVGA 750 Gold Power Supply, and Asus Crosshair VI Hero,and an OCZ trion 150 ssd. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with so little information to go off of.

Have you tried going through the Event Viewer logs at the times of freezes to see if anything shows up?

I'd also try changing your power plan settings. Choose the "restore default settings for this plan" option and save it. Then go into "change advanced power settings". Then change the Hard Disk settings to 0. So, they don't sleep automatically. They'll still sleep when your computer does.

Hard disks going to sleep can cause this issue. When the computer thinks it might need the hard drive it'll spin it back up. Causing the hesitation until it's finished. I've only noticed this is an issue when a computer has more than one drive.

Thanks for the response, I'll try editing the power plan. Looking at usage statistics from MSI after burner and Task Manager, everything drops usage to idle, before spiking back up when the freeze stops, and there is no record of any errors or warnings from the time that the freezes happen in Event Veiwer.

I tried this, but it didnt seem to work. my guess is because my primary drive is an SSD. Its a pretty cheep one, is it possible that its starting to die
