    Ok just happened again now.

    Last night running was csgo, firefox, discord and steam. Cannt recall anything else

    Tonight. firefox, discord and steam.

    I would get these odd snipit buzz sounds to start with, then the pc would feel slugish over time untill it would completely freeze and have a constant buzz.

      Did you update your motherboards BIOS to the latest version? Have you tried leaving your computer idling to see if it freezes?

      What make and model power supply does your computer have?

      Are you installing any programs or games onto your secondary hard drive? Have you tried unplugging your secondary hard drive and just using the SSD to see if the computer still freezes?

        Forgot the mention the times it freezes completely, I need to reinstall the wireless driver.

        An last night after it did freeze, I turned it on again and 5 min later buzzing sound again but if muted my music the buzzing would stop. Tried many songs ( from YouTube btw).

        Yea bios is up to date.

        Psu il double check when I get home.

        Second hdd has only music on it. I can try without it connected tonight.

                Just closed all programs now (firefox, discord and steam) and the mouse would still skip due to the lag spikes. No buzzing sound as no audio was playing.

                  Edit to add: This includes your AV Kaspersky

                    I just did.

                    β€œJust closed all programs now (firefox, discord and steam) and the mouse would still skip due to the lag spikes. No buzzing sound as no audio was playing.”

                    You would not know if the pc is having the issue without atleast doing something, so I moved the mouse around and it was still skipping.

                    EDIT

                    Ok closed av and other things in the background but no change

                      K, try starting the computer in Safe Mode only (no networking) if unsure how, see here

                      Do you have or can you borrow a wired PS/2 type keyboard and mouse that you can use for testing purposes.

                          Right I’m in safe mode without networking. I guess il just leave it on, checking mouse every so often to see if it happens in here also?

                            That is the general idea, do what you can with it for as long as you can, if you can play on offline game and the likes it would help test things more accurately and quicker.

                            Pity about the lack of a wired mouse and keyboard, they come in real handy for testing purposes.

                                That would normally suggest a software issue.

                                Please note that if you are using the problem computer to post here that you should enable Windows Defender to keep you protected, keeping Kaspersky disabled while we troubleshoot this.

                                You have the software for two mice installed (oddly one of them is meant to be the wired type - Razer Naga) can you confirm which one you actually have.
