Before I say anything, here are my specs:
Model: ASUS ROG Strix GL753VD
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 2.8GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5 128-bit
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 10 Home version 1809
Graphics Driver: 417.35
Recently no matter what game I get into I get this 1-5 second full freeze in-game. It happened first when I got GTA V and I thought it was a RAM or internet issue and tried a few fixes for that, most drastic being a periodic standby cache clear(Which Windows is supposed to do on its own anyway) and for a time I turned superfetch off.(Superfetch is back on now)
What leads me to believe it isn't an issue with internet or my RAM is that I was, just today, running a low spec game(Lego The Hobbit) and got the same periodic freeze. Just to check another game I ran Slime Rancher and got the same freeze.
I also know it's not my video memory because GTA monitors video memory usage. I also don't think Lego The Hobbit is a strain at all on my graphics card which is why I used it to test this, however Slime Rancher does have a pretty hefty graphics load. As far as RAM usage according to the ROG Gaming Center none of them push above 60%.
What also may be helpful to know is I close all background programs except for Discord and Spotify when running GTA and Slime Rancher and during The Hobbit I only had Discord running in the background.
Also the version of GTA I have is through Rockstar rather than Steam, but the other two games are from Steam.
This is literally all possible relevant information I could think of, just let me know if anymore is needed.
I'm also currently reinstalling my drivers, if this fixes things I'll make an edit saying so.
UPDATE: After reinstalling the driver I took a large truck through the most densely populated areas in the game I could think of, I tried to get density of cars and people, then drove through the canals for a bit to get some heavy particle effects going. In all that time I had only some minor stutters so I think I may just be a fool who needed to reinstall a driver.
