Hi, I've become very frustrated as for the past 2 weeks or so it is sometimes strictly my games, but sometimes my entire computer freezes and is unusable for ~30 seconds exactly. It is rarely only a few seconds, and usually happens approximately once every hour or 2 hours on average, but can happen multiple times within a short time span.

I just did a complete reformat, updated all my drivers and ran a virus scan, it is still occurring. My temps *may* or may not be on the higher side, however I use a gaming laptop (HP Omen 2015) and these freeze-ups commonly do happen as soon as I start up my laptop for the first time of the day, where I assume temps are going to be normal.

Would appreciate any help, thanks :)
