Checking the event viewer I'm not seeing any warnings or errors concerning my GPU. It's not crashing.
When I'm experiencing one of these freezes the audio starts to get distorted. It might slow down and get choppy as seen in this clip: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxWlO0aj2JDhDDUhwUkWOe3TTnhk2eqkjq or it might just start buzzing until the freeze stops. The buzzing reminds me of how a PC might hang before inevitable going to BSOD but my PC always recovers before it crashes if it is getting to that point. I've run DDU in safe mode just to be sure it wasn't a driver issue. At this point I'm not sure. I ran memtest for like 16 hours and it found no errors with the sticks. The software for the discs show that my older SSD is still healthy; although, the lifespan is currently at 40%.
There's no trigger for it as far as I can tell. I can just be watching youtube, playing a game, or just at idle with nothing really open. The small microstutters can happen just at the desktop.
