Hi, I built my computer earlier this year and have been encountering a strange problem, in that sometimes my pc will ‘freeze’ audio from my pc will cut out and any input from mouse or keyboard not go through until the pc goes back to normal and this freezing is sometimes accompanied by a zapping or clicking noise through my headset
These freezes are only for a few seconds at a time and I have noticed it will only occur when doing certain things.
The things that will make it freeze are pressing the share screen button on discord, this will freeze the pc for about 3-4 seconds at a time every 5 or so seconds until I select a screen or program to share.
The other time I will encounter this issue is while gaming. It currently only seems to be on open world games. The games I have noticed it on are theHunter: Call of the Wild, Far Cry 5 and most recently and definitely the most affected: Generation Zero
Now for the first two titles this freezing will only happen every 5-10 minutes for about 5 seconds at a time
However with Generation Zero the freezing occurs about every 5 seconds lasting for about 5 seconds. I changed the resolution of the game from 1440p to 1080p which helped in that it spaced out the times between the freezes to every couple of minutes but did not fix the issue.
I have the newest graphics card driver and update other drivers yesterday with amd chipset software.
I have run ‘sfc /scannow in command prompt which told me that it repaired some corrupted files however did not fix the problem.
I have also checked the ram by running mdsched.exe but this detected no errors.
Specs are as follows:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
MOBO: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO
RAM: Patriot Viper Steel 2x8GB DDRD4-3600 CL17
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3070 8GB Tuf Gaming OC
