New gaming pc freezing randomly

[r0cuiscool]

Hey! So i've recently gotten my brand new gaming pc with up to date specs and it runs great in games etc. Whenever i watch videos on youtube while opening/alt+tabbing a game it can sometimes (not always) freeze my pc for 10 seconds and come back again (no BSOD) As said games run fine and i have no problem watching youtube casually + my cpu/gpu temps are great. This gets quite annoying even thought it's not major.

Thanks!

16GB G.Skill AEGIS 3000MHz DDr4

6 gigs of ram? is that a typo?

 

My guess is you need more ram and your issues will go away.

6 or 8 gb ram?

Check your Task Manager. It may pinpoint what is causing the problem.

i noticed that my gpu went up to 100% and goes down repetitively when the problem occurs

Okay, that's a good start. See if the GPU connection is properly seated. Check for the PCI-e Power connector if it is properly connected.

 

I would suggest you to try a different graphic card to see if the problem persist.

 

Sometimes the driver may have issue. Try to downgrade your driver.
