At an admin command prompt, try:

chkdsk /r

or

chkdsk /x

how to use chkdsk

And also maybe check the SMART reports: Monitoring hard disk health with smartmontools

And then run the memory diagnostic: How to run Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool

Thanks for the well intentions, but so far I know it's not the disks, I changed them last year. I run Linux Mint, so I use other tools to monitor the disks and memory. I actually suspect it's the graphics card getting funky because running things in software render mode solves the random hang ups.
