This issue began some time ago when my PC was accidentally dropped about nine months ago. Since then, I've replaced the case, the hard drive, and added extra cooling to the system. It works properly except during gaming sessions. Any game I play freezes for up to 30 seconds, and this happens repeatedly every 10 minutes to an hour while playing. I’ve recorded all the games I’ve played and noticed this pattern. The only exceptions are smaller or simpler games, though some of those also freeze. I’ve completely replaced the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I’m certain it’s a hardware problem. I’m unsure which components need replacement, but both video and audio seem to freeze, making me wonder if the GPU is the cause. Any suggestions on what part might be faulty?

Thanks!
