Alright, so for quite a few months I have been dealing with my pc freezing and it will stay frozen until I power it off (screens on and showing whatever was showing last) and there is nothing specific I am doing at the time, I could be on youtube, playing games, or literally anything. During boot, It has an 8 second count down to scan drive C, which doesn't do anything after it reaches 0, just starts up to windows normally with no popups or any information if the drive was "repaired". After checking my system event viewer I saw a couple of things..

A problem has occurred with one or more user-mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated. This may temporarily interrupt your ability to access the devices.

The device HID-compliant headset (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 4 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem.

Volume C: (\Device\HarddiskVolume2) needs to be taken offline to perform a Full Chkdsk. Please run "CHKDSK /F" locally via the command line, or run "REPAIR-VOLUME <drive:>" locally or remotely via PowerShell.


In research I found that I should manually scan and repair my drive, which I did and it did absolutely nothing (checked drive and still said it had errors) And the event says that the problem is from a headset (if I'm correct) which I have a usb logi headset so literally no drivers are needed for it. In some more research I have seen people say there's a problem with said persons graphics card, now I don't have a graphics card so obviously this is not my issue, though I had a graphics card which recently died so that could possibly be it? But the problem has been ongoing since I got this computer (from some random dude so I wouldn't be surprised if something was faulty). If any more information is needed please let me know.
And I'm not sure if this information is needed but I'm going to give it just in case.

CPU: Intel core I-7 2600k
MOBO: ASUS P8H67-M EVO

okay.

event viewer errors are often one off errors on programs that might work perfectly fine every other time. Not best place to find errors. Especially freezes that don't create errors. I understand why its running chkdsk on startup now, it does that if PC is restarting without closing down properly.

I can't see what speccy showed you but if you can tell use more details of PC I can suggest a few things to check. Freezes without bsod isn't windows, likely hardware. Just have to work out what exactly.
do you know who makes the drives in the PC? if so, many of them have software tools you can run to check the drive health. If you tell me, I find tools.
if not, you can run a program like speccy that will show you the names of maker/drives - https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download

That audio output is my headset stand so im not sure why its under audio, and this problem has been occurring way before I downloaded those drivers.
 
Drives. Hard drives... not drivers :)

Who makes the storage devices in PC as that would be what i checked
its why i linked to speccy, it should show you makes :)
My hard drives are under storage, and in the top left you can see that I used speccy. which says both of my hard drives are made my Seagate
