Question

Computer Freezes for a couple seconds, every hour or so.

Aug 8, 2019 4:32PM PDT

For the past few weeks, my brand new computer has been doing this thing where the screen will completely freeze, including the mouse and everything, for 2-4 seconds and then it will unfreeze and do everything that happened in that time super fast. The audio will either stop during the few seconds, keeps going like normal while it's frozen, or it will loop the millisecond of sound that was playing really fast.

I've looked in the event viewer to see what might be happening and it looks like whenever it does this, I get this:

I don't know what it means and can't seem to find any answers. If anybody could help with this that would be great

Answer
FINALLY.
Aug 8, 2019 4:39PM PDT

At the office we had a lot of machines update to 1903 and FINALLY a failure occurred. I think I know why but do not have the time or inclination to replicate the issue.

Suspected cause: The OS was some OEM install. It looked sketchy when we got it and I hadn't had the time to do a factory reset.

Fix: Booted to the recovery system and did a Windows recovery. The one that kept the user files. It took 30 minutes on a nice laptop with the AMD A10, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD so I was a little annoyed at setting a new record for recovery.

Result: System is better than before, it's Windows 10 version 1903 and a trip to Ninite.com reinstalled the usual apps we use for office work. Done. Back in service.
