Based on your description, it seems like the freezes are related to your disk usage. When any of your hard drives are being accessed, the entire system freezes. This could be due to a few possible reasons:
- Disk completion and retries: When Windows writes data to a disk, it can stall and wait for the disk to finish writing. If the disk is busy or experiencing issues, the system might freeze as it waits for the disk to complete its operation.
- Disk I/O bottlenecks: With multiple disks (NVMe, SATA SSD, and HDD) competing for resources, the system might become overwhelmed, leading to freezes.
