[SOLVED] New Hardware, constant 20-30 second freezes in Windows 10

I have been getting constant 20-30 second freezes (once every 2-5 minutes) since I upgraded my hardware last weekend. During these events, my mouse will work but all programs sit in a limbo state for up to half a minute and are not responsive, then pop back.

Event Viewer has two events that always appear at the same time as these freezes and so I believe correlate with this issue. The first is event 129 which has occurred 910 times in the last week, and 223 times in the last 24 hours. the second is event 153 which has occurred 238 times in the last week, and 91 times today.

Event 129's source is "storhci" and the description says "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued." (I am not using a Raid setup)

Event 153's source is "disk" and the description says "The IO operation at logical block address 0x<Number> for Disk 0 (PDO name: \Device\00000035) was retried."

These events started to occur after replacing a dead motherboard while also upgrading my CPU and GPU last weekend.

I am now running:
Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060
PNY Optima 240GB SSD (boot drive)
3 2TB mechanical drives
16 GB of RAM

I was formerly using an Intel CPU if that makes any difference.

I have scoured Google and searched every post I could find relating to this issue (Including some here on Tom's Hardware). None of the solutions have worked thus far.

This is what I have tried (in this order)

1: Reformated my SSD and reinstalled Windows 10
2: Performed all Windows Updates
3: Ran chkdsk
4: Turned off Global C States in BIOs
5: Reinstalled all my Motherboard Drivers
6: Switched out the SATA cable for my boot drive
7: Switched the SATA Port my boot drive is plugged into

So far none of these have solved the problem. The SSD had no issues before the hardware upgrade.
