[SOLVED] My PC keeps freezing for 1 second during games,

[DJVEGA]

So basically my PC keeps freezing during any game i play ( just a mini freeze and then resumes) gets pretty annoying if im in a team fight and come back dead.

it started about 1 month ago (PC is 1 years old) i tried formatting with clean windows 10 installation and drivers installation but im still getting this issue.

PC specs:
-Intel Core i7-8086K 5.00GHZ CPU Processor
-Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 2280 SSD
-2TB Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" SATA III
-HyperX Predator (2x 8GB) - DDR4 3600 MHz
-Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L
-Cooler Master Full Modular 1000w PSU
-Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO Motherboard
-Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti 11GB DDR5X

Any help would be much appreciated

Try disconnecting that mechanical drive and then try to run a game that you know is installed on your SSD and see if this helps?

i will try this as a last resort as my drives have no errors according to disk checks, also all my games are installed on my SSD, only work documents / pics are on the SATA. besides everything has been running fine up until a month ago, could possible be CPU temp ? but i have a beast of a watercooling system soooo ?

when youre playing and the freezes happen, does youre disk or anything else spike up really hard for a split second?also ive seen in other PC's that people had this problem and disabling windows defender fixed it for them
