Basically my PC freezes up for a few seconds randomly (coinciding with it making more noise -I assume fans start to spin faster?- idk, I assume cuz there's a power surge.. and that causes it to freeze and sometimes notify me that I unplugged my speakers and replugged them, even tho I didn't. It gets pretty annoying cuz if it's playing AUDIO, the audio sometimes stops and it makes a continuous buzzing sound for a few seconds until the freeze is over. Sometimes the audio plays normally but the PC is frozen.. it's driving me nuts I've tried everything google-able..

So a little background,
This issue started to occur a few months ago and I didn't really give it much attention as I was busy.
3 days ago it just started to annoy me so I decided to seek a fix. I first suspected it to be a windows problem, so I reinstalled the entire OS (Windows 10 Pro), instead of just reinstalling drivers and such. I was pleased at first cuz I thought the issue ceased, but to my surprise it occurred again. The freeze always coincides with my pc making sudden noise (fan noise, although subtle it's normally quiet) and I think it's caused by the power surge? idk

I really urge anyone who can help to help and provide me with assistance

Thanks in advance.

I would monitor the PSU voltages with HWInfo.
Download it and run it. It's free.
It's possible that whatever is happening.....fans coming on etc.....that the voltage(s) are going out spec.
You should see your voltages in HWInfo (but this sometimes depends on the MB as to which ones you see)
The main ones are +5, +12 and + 3.3 and they should all be within 5% of nominal.
This is what I would check first.
Also....they should REMAIN within the 5% when this "even" happens.

HWInfo also has "high" and "low" readings that it takes and you don't want these to exceed the 5%.
