Question Windows hardware error.

[ICameon]

I am getting these freezes where my video and audio freeze for about 3 seconds at a time. Now I only see this happen around 2-3 times a day on my PC, but I went to Windows problem reports and found that the same hardware error is happening every single minute. These freezes have been going on for around a month or so. If anybody has a solution then that would help a lot. I am very hesitant to reinstall windows, but if that is what needs to be done then oh well. Here is the report:

full system spec? include make and model of the psu
cpu/gpu temp?
new or upgraded system?

This sounds like paging, but as RGD1101 says, we'd need to know the details about your system to give anything beyond a guess. One thing I'll suggest would be to start the Task Manager and look at the Memory usage. If it's over 85%, that's a clue that you could be paging. How much RAM do you have?

Sorry I've taken so long to respond, I have 32 GB of ram and it seems to happen at random. And I have tested my RAM sticks and they are all working fine, and the full 32GB is usable.

PC Specs:
Mobo: ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 @3.20GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX (4x8GB | 32GB @ 300Mhz)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
PSU: EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ GOLD 650W

Idle Temps/Usage:
GPU: 58°C at idle
CPU: 32°C at idle
RAM: 20% at idle

This does include some programs running in the background like Discord and Malwarebytes (not scanning).

I built this system near the very end of 2018.
