Specs:

Issue:
Rebuilt my entire system on 9/6. Looking at my above specs, the only stuff I did not replace was my case, psu, and ssd (though ssd is less than a year old). Since then, I have not had much luck with this computer. It seems to randomly decide to freeze, though not a full freeze. First, whatever program I am using will stop responding, shortly followed by explorer. Alt-tab, ctrl-alt-delete, etc etc do not work. The only way to get out of it is to press the reset button. Also, the reason I say it is not a full freeze is because my mouse continues to work without issue, though the cursor does turn into a rotating circle. This does not matter what I am doing. I could be playing a game, watching streams, browsing the internet, or in bed (I've woken up to a locked up system 4 times already).
Anyways, here are the steps I have taken to try and resolve this;
Any help you all can provide would be very much appreciated. If there is any other information that you might need to assist me with this, please don't hesitate to ask.
EDIT:
The really weird part about this is that I built 2 (almost) identical systems on the 6th. Mine is doing this psuedo freezing while my partners computer is not. The only difference between our systems is psu, graphics card, and cpu cooling option (mine is water cooled, his uses the Noctua NH-D9L).

Anyways, here are the steps I have taken to try and resolve this;
■ Check all drivers;
■ Update any drivers that needed updating (this included updating BIOS);
■ Checked and updated windows;
■ Verified cpu/gpu is not overheating;
■ Ran MemTest86, verified error free;
■ Underclocked system to see if instability caused by that;
■ Ran sfc, returned clear
■ Refreshed windows install (kept all installed programs option);
■ Turned off all non-essential start-up programs (including those within Task Scheduler);
■ Ran a deep anti-virus scan;
■ I have even tried moving my memory around, using less, and even tried other sticks from a system that does not freeze;
