    Since about 4-5 months ago, when I use my pc every now and again, my screen freezes and the audio cuts, but then from my PC I hear a whirring sound, like something starting up spinning again. It keeps on happening but hasn't been impacting too much, since its only a few seconds, just frustrating.I've got an Intel i7-9700F and a NVIDIA GTX 1650. 256GB of SSD and two SATA's with 1TB and 4TB respectively.

    When moving my mouse, it freezes for a second and unfreezes over and over!

    Everytime when I move my mouse, it freezes for a second and unfreezes, my mouse I'm using is a usb wireless one and it also freezes for more than 1 second so how do I fix this?

    Screen freeze

    'screen freeze' is a very vague term.

    Can you describe the issue with more detail?

    ex: the image on screen freezes, but i can hit the power button and windows shuts down normally, and i can hear sounds in the background.
