So this started happening randomly to me like 2 or 3 days ago. It happened first while playing csgo mm, then i played some dirty bomb and it happened as well, and it's happening on tf2 as well, so I know for sure its not a game specific problem.

I checked temps on my pc and processor and everything seems to be normal temp. This is really annoying, never happened to me and I have a decent pc so it definitely shouldn't happen. It just freezes/crashes completely for 5-10 seconds and then unfreezes and usually some keys are not working when it unfreezes so I have to alt tab out and in of the game again for the keys to work.

Specs:
i7-3770K
16GB DDR3-1600
250GB SSD
GTX 670

If you're using something like Prio, make sure that the game in question is allowed to run on all cores.

Nope, Im actually the only one in the house using wired. So thats not the problem...

I guess the only option I have is to open the pc and clean it a bit tomorrow, because I didnt really install anything new (except for battlenet) nor made any changes since this started happening and I wwould be pissed to have this fuck with my game on saturday.

Actually might have figured out what the problem is, while checking task manager after one of these crashes I noticed one of the disks usage was at 100% for a few seconds (approx how long the crash/freeze was).

Is it possible this could be the reason for the freezes? The thing is, this is an external HDD and Im not using it for any of the games where the freeze happens because I have them all installed on my SSD.
