1: Open task manager
2: Wait for lag spike
3: Once lag spike occurs, check if any of your hardware is at 100% usage

#

I would assume it is your ram. This is becuase without an adequate amount of ram, your pc won't have anywhere to store temp files and will freeze the screen so it can have time to remove unnecessary files that are being stored.

#

If you can list what parts your computer is made up of, as well as their amount (gigabyte, terabyte, etc.) I should be able to help with your freezing

i have 32 gig, and i actually did that, perhaps it did spike without me seeing it, i had the resource tab open to see

#

my cpu i9-13900k, 2080ti, i hjave 2 m.2 drives 2tb each

#

my motherboard is a msi mag z790

#

G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 6400mhz 32GB

#

#

its also the correct clock speed

#

my ram usage is quite high though, it usually sits ad 30-40 when i start my pc
