Make sure W11 is fully updated.

I'd also make sure you're on the latest motherboard BIOS. It looks like there are three riptide motherboards listed on this site: https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=BIOS

When the issue happens next I'd run https://www.resplendence.com/download/LatencyMon.exe and see if it finds anything.

I'd remove the GPU temporarily and see if that makes any difference.

Also, the stuff that down1nit mentioned. This is for checking drive health: https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_trial.php

Do you have any extra things attached to the machine like a WLAN card? Things like that are a big culprit for this type of issue.

Since this issue was happening from the beginning of the build you may want to exchange some hardware if you get tired of troubleshooting.
