In recent months, my PC has been experiencing several problems.
Games often freeze unexpectedly, while CPU and GPU usage decrease, but RAM remains unchanged.
Freeze durations range from 5 to 20 seconds, and after the freeze it restarts normally until the next occurrence.
Additionally, I frequently disconnect from online games following a freeze, receiving the warning 'Unreliable connection'.
This issue appears across various games, all using different DirectX versions and graphics settings.
It also occurs in browser-based games occasionally.
Event Viewer indicates an 'appcrash' event.
Temperatures are stable.
The operating system was reinstalled from scratch, drivers updated, BIOS refreshed, RAM timing adjusted to manufacturer specifications, RAM slots swapped.
What might be causing this? Is there a known fix for the problem?

Are these occurrences during individual stress tests for GPU and CPU? This might indicate a hardware problem with the GPU.

I believe the issue lies with the Kingston A400 SSD. I've found others experiencing the same problem after extensive research. After updating the firmware, I'll check again to see if it resolves the problem. I'll follow up in a day or two.
