I finally caught it on tape! The stutter that will randomly happen once per day and I have no idea what's causing it (youtu.be)

Ignore the fortnite, I was playing it for an esports class I'm using to round out my credit hours.

But this, THIS ANNOYING stutter has been happening for like 2 years now, the entire computer, video, audio, will lock up for like 2 seconds and it happens like once a day, twice if it's feeling spicy.

I've looked into so many logging programs but I cannot for the life of me nail this one down, any ideas? This may be my only chance to squash it for good

I had something similar happen once because I had a hard drive that had set itself to automatically turn off to save power after X amount of inactivity, and my computer would briefly lock up for a few seconds every hour or so when my search indexer or what-have-you tried to access it and it powered itself back on.

Adding to this, I had to run both Windows and Linux from a USB-connected m.2 SSD for a while, and noticed similar patterns, checking the disk (or its connection) is probably a good clue.
