Recently my notebook started constantly freezing up for several seconds.
If I open a game, the issue takes place every few seconds, making things effectively unplayable. In the Browser it's a little rarer, about every few minutes. During that time in the browser I can move the mouse with much lagging over the screen but nothing else seems to work. Although I noticed that programs like discord still give me their sound output without problem even during total lockups.
I've installed every update for every driver and system I could find.
I've done both fast and extensive systemchecks through the HP Support Assistant, the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics and the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI tool. Every single check tells me there is no issue.
It started about a week ago and initially could be fixed with a restart but has since taken over completely. Would appreciate any help, thanks!

@Ub6424
Thank you for the detailed answer! I downloaded and ran everything. There was some error message with the Nvidia update but I managed to grab a new driver version on their website which apparently fixed that.
What isn't fixed however is my original problem. With its nature of appearance I fear it feels too much like a hardware issue.
