i've had my computer for like a year now. But i've had only a 500GB SSD. Recently i installed a new HDD, Seagate Barracuda 2TB. Installed it, and its worked great. Was playing a game all day on it yesterday, no issues. However until today, i've been playing some games that have been installed previously on my SSD, (Overwatch, Modernwarfare.) and randomly my pc will lock up, that being the game and all other programs for about 2-3 seconds. like everything kind of stops. and it isn't consistent, so i dont know what the issue would be? would it be the HDD possibly? or the fact that my SSD is low on storage, my SSD also has win 10 on it? i have 20.1gb to spare on my SSD so idk if its an issue with storage or the new SSD.

Specs:

ASRock Phantom Gaming 4 Z390
gtx 1070ti,
i9 9900k,
24gb DDR4 HyperX Fury ram, ,
500GB Samsung SSD,
2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD 7200RPM
