Lately I've been having this error; my screen would freeze or slow down for about 10-20 seconds, and afterwards a number of beeps would play (between 2-5, no consistency between them). After that the PC would continue working as usual, but this has been happening to me on a daily basis.
I've tried using /sfc scannow but no damaged archives have been found. Does anyone know how to fix?

I am Jaspreet Singh.
Beeping sequence usually means a hardware component issue.
What is the brand/model of your device. Depending on the manufacturer the beeps will signify different issue.
Slow downs is caused by hard drive issues but actual issue can be identified by the beeps.
Do note while the beeps may feel inconsistent there will be a sequence i.e. beeps then a bit of a gap then the sequence of the beeps will repeat again. Wait for the gap then note the beeps untill next gap. -

Please run a diskcheck via these steps :
Search for cmd in the search bar.
Right click on the results and click on run as administrator.
Paste this command in it and press enter :
CHKDSK
you will get a report on the finding including bad sectors and bad file records. Please provide the results here.
