    Default Computer Siezing?

    My computer has recently developed an interesting issue where it will freeze randomly for a second or two... I reinstalled the OS thinking that would fix any problems, yet it persists. I tested my mechanical hdd's with western digital's hd tool, but no errors popped up. The computer will have audio and video (including browser, anything on the screen) stop for a second, then resume as normal. I havn't tried gaming on it yet, but im really getting freaked out. Thanks for help guys.

    Gaming has the same thing

    I installed windows on a mechanical hdd. same trouble. this rules out the ssd and the hdd's...

    hmm... that is odd. Have you checked all your connections? made sure everything is seated properly?
