So, occurred about a half year ago but started to be annoying recently that my computer becomes non responsive for couple of seconds, when I'm playing any game the image stays the same and the sound dies, if I'm in windows/watching videos the image is fine but sound dies too.
This has persisted over 2 clean windows installations, happens also with non overclocked CPU/GPU/RAM. From what I've learnt it's not bound to high usage of anything.
Windows 10 on SSD
i5-6600k - 4.4 GHz
1060
8 GB DDR4 2800
Thanks for any suggestions.

trippais ur mouse cord in good condition
it persisted over multiple mice and ports, so that's most likely not the issue
CitroMaindprobs a psu issue. get a new one
also my idea but since it's not the cheapest thing and i bought this half a year ago i'd like to be sure, is there a way to test this?

out of all the things that could go broke, psu is the cheapest haha
but to answer your question, no idea how to test it. get it in another pc?

I would..
check your temps. if they are fine then:
take out your video card. and all but 1 slot of ram. unplug all your shit except keyboard. close any progs like mouse drivers. see if it still does that.
if it does, swap the ram, and check again.
if it still does it then its prob mobo/cpu/psu.
the common psu test, the paperclip test, isnt going to do anything. since your computer turns on and all that stuff. I would be more inclined to think its mobo of the remaining. cpu almost never break and seems like a weird problem for psu but idk im not an expert. ofc if you have a spare psu, test it.

thanks for ideas
temps are fine, around 60° C for CPU and 55° C for GPU
im using one ram stick and swapped slots some time ago, no effect
i've tried launching in safe mode, still the same
i'll try without gpu next thing in the morning
im using igpu for my second vga monitor and while using only my 1060 it feels like it's happening with lower frequency

ok, so for SOME reason after i updated windows to the latest version, it's not happening anymore
i'll see if it sticks but thanks to everyone who tried to help

No.
If you pulled the plug for 1-2 seconds it wouldn't stutter either, would it?
No power means the hardest of hard crashes, not just a little stutter.

Image + sound or just sound dying is usually just nVidia drivers vs Windows 10.
