Computer freezes

Hi,
Since getting new PSU, mainboard, RAM and CPU my system often freezes for about 1 to 15 seconds.
OS: Win 10 Home
mainboard: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti
RAM: 2x G.Skill F4-2400C15-8GTZRX
PSU: some "Cooler Master" 550 watts

Temperatures and workload of CPU and GPU seem fine to me.
Chkdsk did not find problems.
No virus. No unnecessary programs.

What could be the cause and how to find out and fix?

Thanks.
When playing games freezes are way more long.
Will check event viewer and report back.
In game I can't move the mouse when it freezes. On desktop both happened (being able to move mouse and not being able).
Fans still run normally.

SATA drive.
Any way to check for faulty drivers?
No antivirus, only windows defender.

Can not use event viewer. Says: "Computer `MSC` cannot be connected. ..."

I have now updated chipset-drivers and BIOS-version, deactivated some unnecessary programs in start up, tested SMART values of drives, run memtest and increased swap file size.
Now besides the old long freezes i am getting microstuttering in game, that is many very short freezes plus 2 times in an hour maybe i got a black screen and no sound with pc still running forcing me to hard reset. Event viewer is not showing anything related to it as far as i can tell. Any ideas? What to do?

a video of the freezes? I guess, yeah.
No spare drives.

Yes, both were used though. No fresh paste.
Yes.

Did test the CPU temps a few days ago. When in game it was 74 degrees celsius max. i think. When on desktop or in chrome it's 33-38. It's got a water cooling system installed on it. Got it that way from a friend.
Yes, when i got the new parts. Half a year ago.

No.
Yes, was above 30 gb i think. Just formatted ssd and reinstalled win 10. Now it's 185 gb. Reinstalling game and trying again now.

I have now reinstalled win and the mainboard and gpu drivers and the game. Problem persists. What would be the best next step? Change hardware? GPU first?
