Question PC Freezing, but my mouse still moves?

[PickledKatsu]

I've had my PC since late october and it started to freeze wierdly in november, I got some help for it on the techsource discord, and it was fine for a week, it started again and now the guy's stumped. It's mostly in-game but recently its happening out of game. My mouse can still move, but the PC stops all animations other than the windows button* (eg. taskbar doesn't highlight when mouse hovers over it). I can still click on things for a matter of time though, and any pop-out windows freeze in place. I can sometimes use ctrl, win, d and always use ctrl, alt, del, but none of things in it's menu work. I always have to kill the PC.

Any help accepted!

Specs: R5 2600X, GTX 1650S, 16Gb 3200MHz RAM, B-450F Gamiong MOBO

*Windows button also can pop up

check the memory by running memtest.org usb autoinstaller (bootable USB flash drive)


check the hard drive for errors with its manufacturer´s tool

use malwarebytes to search for threads/virus/malware

Thanks very much!

The cmd prompt came back with no problems

I've used clean boot before, and it still crashed (but only when i launched the game)

How do you use the memtest.org thing?

The tool came back with no problems too

And malwarebytes came back with no threats
