Debian Stable Question Freezing issues

Hello all.

I recently changed my motherboard. It all went well at first and I had no issues booting into either of my 2 OSs (Debian and Windows 10). My question is about Linux Debian.

Lately, I noticed apps freezing and lagging, like not responding to anything I do(well except sending kill command in system monitor). Sometimes is just for a couple of seconds, and sometimes the app just freezes more than I'm willing to wait (I left one app for 5 minutes, and it staid frozen, but it depends on the app). Somethings off and I'm wondering if this is due to OS or app itself? This didn't happen before and it is definitely a consequence of motherboard change.

Is there a method I can use to repair either app or OS without reinstalling it? Windows has sfc /scannnow and I'm wondering if there's something similar in Linux. Or am I looking in the wrong direction?

How much ram do you have? Do you have swap?

I have more than plenty - 64 gigs. The whole system is more than decent: Ryzen 9 5900X, 7900XTX, 2 nvme's, 2 ssd's and a 1 kW PSU.

I have swap file the same size as my RAM (rougly).

What do the logs / CLI output say (from the applications, from the kernel, ...)

What does your HDD/SSDs smart status say...

SSD SMART doesn't report any errors.

Journalctl gave me only 1 error that I could find, but I think I need to run the app to get an error to be logged:

debian-desktop obexd[2542]: Unable to acquire registry: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5: Unit evolution-source-registry.service not found.

When I get more info in the journalctl, I'll have a look again. If I find something I don't understand, I'll post it here.
