I own a FX 8150
GTX 1060 3gb
Vector 128gb ssd (OS - 60gb left)
1tb seagate 5400rpm (Everything - 200gb left)
Gigabyte 990fx UD3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengence 1866mhz 2x4gb ram

I am a heavy multitasker, so when I have a ton of programs open it will freeze for about 30 seconds and I can't clt+alt+delete my way out.

Note by a lot of programs : Blender, Skype, Discord, Vegas or Photoshop. Not all of these will be open at once but it varies on my work.

I use GPUZ, CPUZ and Speccy and my temps are all under 40c. Task manager says I am not even using half my resources available for the cpu, disk, etc.

So I cannot manage to figure out what it could possibly be.

All help is appreciated.

Press control alt Delete, and load up task manager, select performance tab . see your Hard drive is not stuck or near 100% all the time if it is see (A) below. is it CPU at 100% a lot ? see (B) does it seem it is the Hard drive that stops providing data (usages drops to 0%?) see (C)

(A)
how big is your Pagefile.sys ? if it is as I suspect your system with only 8GB ram and using power software like blender and photoshop, your pagefile is going crazy and making your hard drive 100% usage, leaving you hanging and waiting all the time. 2 solutions, enforce a pagefile of min (1*1024 * 8192) = 8388 and max of (2 *1024* 8192)= 16777.
The other solution would be to jump your ram to 16MB

(B) click tab Processes and under CPU column click...

(B) click tab Processes and under CPU column click on CPU to organize the list according to usage and see what is sucking on your CPU so much

(C) you could close all apps and runs a admin terminal windows click start type CMD right click on it run as admin, and runs the Chkdsk /F command to see if there are issues with hard drive.
