My PC recently has started having "Micro" freezes where chrome, or discord for example will freeze up for a few minutes but I can freely move the cursor and right click etc. When I've looked at my CPU usage it's usually just hit 100% after it has unfrozen, or sometimes sits on 0-1% but doesn't seem to budge much, until the system fully responds. Not sure on why this is happening a lot more recently as I haven't done any software, or hardware changes.
Note, I already know about the compatibility issue with my CPU and MOBO, but this wasn't an issue 2-3 weeks ago.
