My PC keeps freezing with CPU treads at 100%

I'm kinda new to forums so I'm not sure this is the correct place.

I have had this issue for about a week now, I tried to search for solutions online, but in the end nothing worked.

I experience this strange issue where my PC after some time working just fine, starts to freeze for 5 to even 10 seconds. While the freeze lasts my CPU usage goes up with "System" and some, not all, threads (logical processors) spike to 100%. The other threads (logical processors) don't seem to be affected at all (Its always the same, max 4 threads that spike). While my PC is frozen it still takes input; I can type and after it unfroze the text would appear, I can also close programs. So every action I do is delayed, but still registered, till the freeze ends. My PC never crashes, shots down or bluescreens after its frozen.

As far as I'm aware this doesn't affect games. I played some titles for extended time and never had a problem in game, but the moment I ALT-TAB out, it would freeze. I have also done some benchmarks (userbenchmark and cinebench r23), in which my PC preformed admirably. In cinebench my CPU was just fine at 100% load for 10 minutes without a freeze (though I did not try to do anything while the test ran).

Usually on YouTude while pausing, playing and watching videos no freezes occur, but the moment I start scrolling, or doing almost anything a freeze would happen.

My PC is relatively new (about a month old), I upgraded my previous system and only kept the GPU, SSD (SATA) and PSU (i went from AM4 to AM5). My PC specs:

• CPU: Ryzen5 7600 (non-X)
  
• GPU: Radeon RX 6600 (non-XT)
  
• Memory: Kingston Fury Beast 32Gt DDR5 5600MHz CL36 (AMD EXPO 6000MHz OC)
  
• MB: Asrock A620M Pro RS (latest BIOS)
  
• OS: Windows 10 Pro
  
• Drives: Kingston 1T NVMe SSD (Boot drive), Samsung 860 QVO 1T (SATA)
  
• PSU: Corsair 550W 80+ Gold
  

Here is what i have tried already:

• Did Windows Memory Check
  
• Ran sfc /scannow
  
• Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  
• Ran msdt.exe /id PerformanceDiagnostic
  
• Ran chkdsk /r
  
• Change power plan form Balanced to High Preformance
  
• Reseted the PC
  
• Did a clean Windows install (twice)
  
• (Might have missed something)
  

None of these helped. I had at least 5 freezes while writing this (which took about 20 minutes).

I'm completely out of ideas and the freezes very frustrating and hinder my productivity.

Any help would be appreciated.

20h2 update freezes at 100%

At which step does it freeze?

I'm on a low bandwidth ISP and have been seeing my 'Downloading...' step SAY 100% but clearly there's still some serious network traffic down that continues for another 15 minutes. It helps to know it's really not stuck, and this Download 100% message is premature.

Check Performance Monitor if it is the Download step.

 

How to stop PC from utilizing 100% CPU all the time

My PC displays in the task manager that my PC is using 100% CPU even when nothing is opened. I have checked the power plans, run command line prompts, and even fully reset my PC. Still, it's at 100% any way to fix this?
