Hello,
Since I acquired my PC over a year ago, it has been freezing for 3 to 5 seconds a couple of times after startup—either when logging in or opening Discord. It’s been happening since the very first day, and I didn’t give it much thought until recently. I’m trying to figure out possible causes and solutions. I’ve reinstalled Windows several times, and my SSD appears to be in good condition at around 96% health.
I acquired my PC over a year ago. When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide detailed system specifications. Please list the details as follows: CPU, CPU cooler, Motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, Chassis, OS, Monitor, along with the age of the PSU and the current BIOS version for your motherboard. I have reinstalled Windows multiple times. Where did you obtain the installer for your operating system? Did you recreate a bootable USB to prevent any issues?
Additionally, the following auto startup programs are executed.
alright well these are my PC specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15S
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi
Ram: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000
SSD/HDD: Crucial T500 1TB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super
PSU: NZXT C850 Gold 850 Watt (2022)
Chassis: NZXT H7 Flow (2022)
OS: Windows 11 Home
Monitor: Acer XF273 M3
My PSU is about a year and a month old at this point and I got my windows installer from Micro Center because I figured it would be the safest bet to buy it and my BIOS version is E7D75AMS.1O0
I have like steam, discord and thats basically it
The specifications look good, and there are no pending BIOS updates at this moment. Check Crucial's Storage Executive to confirm if your SSD needs a firmware upgrade.
Your power plan is set to balanced or performance mode.

Attempt to rebuild your bootable USB installer for your operating system using an extra USB drive and Windows Media Creation Tools. Install the OS in offline mode. While connected to the internet, the OS will fetch drivers it believes are suitable for your system—this can sometimes cause issues.
After a successful installation, add all necessary drivers via an elevated command: right-click the installer, select Run as Administrator, and ensure you've backed up important data beforehand.
