Freezing and strange cursor behaviour

$
0
0
Hello! My PC has been behaving strangely for a while and I've finally got sick of it and am seeking help.

Every now and then, maybe once or twice a day it will lock up and any music playing will do that strange looping thing that we all know. It happens for around 10 seconds then it unfreezes, but behaves very strangely afterwards. Performance drops significantly and there are regular short freezes of a second or two at a time. The strangest thing is with the cursor. It's hard to explain so I've made a video (forgive the quality). The only fix is to restart the PC. I have a fairly high-end PC which I keep properly maintained and clean both physically and virtually, so I don't think it's virus related. I think it's probably some hardware failing or a dodgy driver somewhere. A memtest showed no errors.



I've found the following error in my Event Viewer which appears to be around the time of the last freeze but I'm not 100% and it might just be coincidence. A bit a research seems to it relates to Paragon.
