Hi everyone, my PC has been running fine, however couple of days ago while playing Lost Ark it randomly started freezing, the freezes last around 0.5s to 2s, when it freezes whatever sound was playing will become a buzzing noise loop. But it recovers afterwards. Happens very randomly, usually once every 20 mins - 2 hours or so.

  1. Windows update is off, checked update history and nothing was updated.
  2. No recent software/hardware changes that I can recall
  3. Only happens during gaming, doing other things like watching YouTube is fine.
  4. I tried reseating the RAM & GPU however that doesn't seem to work.
  5. Reinstalled Lost Ark, didn't work
  6. No temperature problems
Not sure if it's getting worse, but after I reseated my RAM & GPU it happened twice within 20 mins.

This problem is really giving me a headache I can't seem to find a solution pls help :(
Thanks
Yukie

UPDATE:
When it happens my CPU and GPU usage spikes very high, with CPU hitting 100% and GPU around 90%

That's a mixed soup of drives on that built..., failing HDD may cause spikes.
But what's sitting in your tray on boot up ?
At the start it was only the 250GB SSD and HDD, I added the M.2 drives later.
At bootup there's Corsair iCue for my KB, G.Skill RGB for my RAM(which I usually exit right away), and MSI Afterburner at my tray

The game aren't installed on my HDD, could a failing HDD still causes this?

I also used CrystalDiskInfo to check my drives but it said all my drives are in good condition
