RAM possibly causing freezes, how to fix?

My new PC's been freezing for the last 2 weeks or so, and I'm suspecting it's caused by my RAM.

Usually the freeze hits after about 5 mins after startup, sometimes after that aswell, and running spotify seems to make the freezes more common.

During the freeze I can still control my mouse, and taskbar animations are smooth as ever. However most apps refuse to open and freeze, for example sportify stops playing etc

Sometimes the freeze hits when I'm about to go on a website, and when this happens Chrome will say "waiting for cache", thus making me suspect my RAM.

Any help will be appreciated

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 1400 (OC)

GTX 1060 (OC)

8gb Crucial CT8G4DFD8213 DDR4-2133 DIMM (Single slot, never overclocked, brand new)

Asrock ab350m (Newest BIOS)

Thanks for the reply.

Just ran mt86 plus, it didn't find any problems :\

As I said the freezes become more common when Spotify is running.

If Chrome's cache is on the SSD, it's possible that's the problem here. I have an Intenso 120GB SSD for windows, chrome, etc. including spotify.

Any tools or other ways to know my SSD is to blame for this?
