Hello,
My computer recently started freezing for a few seconds to a few minutes, after which it continues working like nothing happened.
When it freezes absolutely nothing is happening, the hard-drive access lights are not going off. When resuming anything that was using network was dced and otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
I was watching a show a few times that it happened, and I could hear really distorted really slow noise from the show still playing, and when I hit my mouse button the noise stopped (I think it successfully paused the show).
The freezing seems to be fairly random it seems to occur relatively rarely, like maybe once every 20 minutes, but I have had them happen back to back a few times.
I recently relocated, and took my computer on a car trip for an hour or two so there might have been some bumps, and maybe the wiring at the new place is weird.
I am thinking of taking out my network adapter next as I was using internet every single time this happened (but this could just be a coincidence).
Any ideas what could be the cause of this?
Stuff I tried:
Dedusting the computer.
I have run the windows ram test and that came back clean.
I did a scan of the ssd with the intel utility that came with it.
I have an ssd + 2 relatively old hdds in raid, and I took the hdds out thinking maybe they are dying but still froze.
I ran gpu stress testing for a while and that didn't really do anything, in-fact temperatures all around seem normal.
I checked the windows-system logs nothing there.
