Mouse and screen keep freezing up randomly for around 0.5 - 1 second
I was playing Spellbreak when this started happening. For context, I was using my GPU to mine ethereum for about 4 weeks prior to this. I would leave my computer running overnight using a program called MSI Afterburner to limit power to 80%, memory clock to 699 MHz, and automatic fan speed. My mouse is a Razer Death Adder from around 8-10 years ago, but this is also happening while using a cheap mouse from Walmart. The keyboard doesn't seem to freeze, only the mouse does and whatever is on the screen does. Today I used Windows 10's Reset This PC feature (keep my files option), but even afterwards this issue was still happening. I am in the process of downloading the latest Windows Updates and NVIDIA GeForce Experience to update GPU drivers, but I feel as though the problem will still be there (will close this post if the issue no longer appears).
Is there a way to automatically detect my PC's specs? I don't know of a way, but here is what I know:
NVIDIA RTX 2080
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
16GB RAM

Just discovered something else - even if I disconnect the 2 monitors I had connected into the GPU and only run the old monitor I have plugged into the motherboard, the freezing still occurs. Does this mean that this isn't related to my GPU?
