I'd start by checking the health of the HDD using Crystal Disk Info (get the ZIP version to avoid anime). I'd also suggest making sure all your drivers are up to date, as a hang like that could be a device misbehaving.

Crystal is a pretty reliable and generalizable tool to check on drive health. For a Seagate drive Seatools is fine, but Crystal has the advantage of being brand-agnostic. I used Seatools to verify that a Seagate drive I had purchased was DOA, but if I remember correctly that was also a requirement to RMA the drive.

Are your Nvidia drivers up to date? 2016 was the worst year in my memory for the quality of Nvidia drivers, so that isn't a bad place to check. When you updated last did you run DDU and remove all the old driver files before doing a fresh installation? If not, that might be worth a shot. I've personally avoided using GeForce Experience for so long that I continue to avoid it out of habit, so can't really speak to it as a possible culprit.
