What causes random pc freezes?

[AndyTussel]

Seeking solidarity in shared experiences: My once-monstrous PC now faces enigmatic freezes while utilizing Windows-related functions like Settings, File Explorer, and web browsers. Restarting or closing all applications momentarily restores normalcy. Despite a factory reset, I remain certain it's not a hardware issue, as gaming, trading platforms, and other programs run smoothly with no irregularities echatrandom in hardware monitoring. A solution is eagerly awaited.
