 2 weeks ago, after i reinstalled windows, the computer started to 
randomly freeze every few days and then resume a few seconds later. The 
freezes causes all usb devices to disconnect and freeze the monitor 
image and sound. This lasts for about 5-6 seconds and then everything 
goes back to normal(no need for a reboot). I haven't been able to 
determine a real reason for the freeze, the temperatures are normal and 
the components werent usually stressed when the freeze happened. My 
theory is that my HDD is starting to die out(About a year ago it started
 making crackling noises) and it's causing windows to freeze.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 OC'd to 3,6 GHZ with stock cooler. (Right now the overclock is disabled, since I am testing the pc)

GPU: Gainward Gtx 1050ti

Motherboard: Asrock AB350M Pro4 (Bios version: 4.90)

PSU:Corsair CX450 (grey)

RAM: 2x4gb 2400mhz G.Skill (which i reduced to the default in the bios, 2133 mhz)

HDD: an old(5-6 year old) 500gb WB Green

Two Arctic case fans

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 Version: 10.0.17134 Build 17134

Can this be a motherboard problem? I heard that this board has a high change of freezing up, but from what i've read it hard freezes and requires a restart, i dont need to restart.
