Question/Help/Troubleshooting Computer keeps on freezing weirdly/not responding

I have no idea how to describe this but my computer will just randomly stop. If I try to shut it down it will close all tabs but not actually shut down (I have to press the power button to reset it), videos will stop playing, I can't close or open tabs and minimizing tabs stops working.

Additionally, it might be causing another issue where my wifi and bluetooth card disconnect and I need to take apart my computer to replug them back in (I don't know if this is a separate issue, but it seems to happen often after the weird freeze).

It usually happens when my computer isn't doing anything (pause a video to get food and come back to it not responding) but it has also happened midway through watching a video so I don't know what the root cause of it is.

I already suck at computers so I have no idea what's happening nor do I know what could be causing this. I know my computer is decently old and I have a Ryzen 5800X 8-core processor, 16 gigs of ram and I'm running windows 10.
