About 2-3 weeks ago my computer has just been freezing for about 10+ seconds (not consistently sometimes 3 days go by without anything) then resuming as though nothing happened. I don't hear any sound while it's frozen no buzzing etc as well plus the games/music are just continuing after as though nothing happened.

Today though when it happened I noticed that I was disconnected from my League of Legends game as well from Skype which both reconnected which had not occurred before..

I've tried swapping my Ram/PSU, clean installing my OS and all games and don't see any Temps getting super high.. I've tried googling causes of computers freezing/windows 10 freezing and doing the various things they suggest but so far have found no answer to the problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.. debating just buying a new CPU/MOBO and going from there but without knowing for sure haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Check windows windows event logs for errors, post ss if any critical.
Check pc's power options.
Use HD tune and in teh error scan tab do deep scan. (not quick scan) if any red blocks replace drive. DO not scan SSD's
in the benchmark tab run this and post screen shot of it for me. (one for each drive you have)

Then i'd try a reinstall. That will sort out software issues from corruptions.

Next I'd stress hardware, cpu via prime 95 (without an oc on). say 1-2hours
If you have an OC maybes its become unstable, dial it back or disable it.
Stress gpu with OCCT I think its called, check in the link above this section.say 1-2hours
As for memory you can run memtestx86 and try for 7 passes even one error means bad ram, rma it.

Honestly i slows and then catches up sounds like HD/software ssues though other things can cause it.

Ok will try some of it, CPU/GPU/HDD etc.

Power Options I switched based on what I found for "Windows 10 Freezing" like turning off the PCI Options among other things.

Event Viewer shows nothings Critical in any of the Tabs. System tab shows some DNS things timing out as well DCOM not registering.

Main Drive is a 240GB SSD from Kingston while I also have a 1TB Hard Drive for general storage. I've tried clean installing on the SSD once before and installing everything programs wise from scratch to try and eliminate that.
