Windows 10: windows freezes for a few seconds at the hour change

Hey all,
I'm on the Insider Fast Track and have been running Windows 10 1909 for a couple months. Specifically Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview, Evaluation copy. Build 18965.rs_prerelease190816-1722

I don't recall if this happened before the upgrade from 1903 or not.

what i'm seeing is the whole computer will freeze for a couple seconds every time the hour changes, at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 etc. Doesn't matter what program i'm using, i could be typing in an email and the typing will pause for a couple seconds then it catches back up to where i am, usually without any error like missing letters, I could be typing here in the forum text box using Chrome and the same thing happens.

I've disabled all of the startup items, and that didn't help. I don't see anything in the performance monitor for this either.

Any ideas?

:)

 

computer freezes at windows logo.

My Win7 logo use to freeze right when the 3 dots start rotating. For a good 30-60 seconds. Then windows loads.

I changed my Graphic Card and it fixed the freezing logo.

 

Every few hours my games freeze with buzzing, then unfreeze

Hello!

Approximately once every 2-3 hours (not tied to any specific time, this is just how often i feel this happens) any game im playing will freeze for 2-3 seconds, and then in my headphones i will hear the "buzzing" noise that usually happens when PC is about to BSOD.

However, BSOD doesnt happen. After 2-3 seconds pass, game resumes and everything is fine. There are no errors, no flashing screen, etc. Its as if nothing happened.

My steps so far:

1. Disable CPU, GPU and Memory overclock: Freeze still happens
2. Run stress test on CPU, GPU and Memory: All tests pass
3. Run Memtest86 to check RAM: 12 hour test finds 0 errors
4. I run 2x 2080ti's in NVLink, so my next step was disabling NVlink: Freeze still happens
5. Removed NVLink bridge, monitors etc only connected to first GPU: Freeze still happens
6. Connected all monitors to second GPU: Freeze still happens
7. Checked Event viewer - there are no WHEA or errors of any kind that i can find. The only event that happened at same time as this freeze are the three User Profile Service warnings:

Profile notification of event Load for component {B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB} failed, error code is See Tracelogging for error details.

Profile notification of event Unload for component {B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB} failed, error code is See Tracelogging for error details.

Profile notification of event Load for component {B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB} failed, error code is See Tracelogging for error details.


At this point i genuinely have no idea what else i could test, or what could be possibly causing this. Any suggestions please?

Win10, 9900k, 2x 2080ti, 64gb 3600 ram (clocked to 3200 normally), 2x nvme ssds, 1x hdd

(FYI this is a fresh build with fresh installs etc)

Also to add, i am monitoring my CPU with CoreTemp, and even during those freezes my CPU temp and useage were normal, and not in any way strange.

 

all games crash!

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.
