playing on gaming pc should be smooth not freezy.

Thank you

Instead of task manager use Resource Monitor. You can launch it from task manager performance tab or you can type resmon.exe into the Start Menu search box and press enter.

For disk, use the disk tab and look at disk response time rigth after the hang. If it was a disk problem you will see response time in the 100s of mils. Normally a samsung 850 evo response time is in the single digit mils.

CPU is tougher. Some games normally spin the CPU at 100% (the code looks for work until it finds it. The "looking for work" shows up as active CPU time so the game looks like it is working all the time even when it is mostly idle.)

For memory you are looking not at how much memory is used, but at the "hard fault" rate. It's in the...

Run windows resource manager in the background.

When you see the 1/2 second stutter look at the graphs for CPU, disk, memory and network. See if you see a spike up in CPU or disk... a sudden use of memory or network flatline.

Can you duplicate the 1/2 pause on a game that does not use the internet ? Lag spikes from your network can be ruled out if local games have the same behavior.
