Hello guys, so I livestream quite often, or play osu while watching livestreams. In the past few days I started having some weird problems where my game simply freezes during a map and comes back normally a few seconds later. It didn't bother me that much, because it was once every 1 hour or so. But today I started having some really bad-ass problems with this. Freezing once every 30seconds depending on the map.
My thoughts were: welp, maybe my maps are corrupted, let's redownload them or try new maps.
Did that, still freezing. So what I did was running osu from my external HDD. Same thing happened. Moved back to the client on my desktop.
When I got really pissed off because of that, I tried killing chrome out of the blue. My PC can handle basically anything running with osu (specially considering that I livestream for over a year games that demand even more from my CPU eg. WoW or league).
Either way, I killed chrome and the glitches stopped happening. After confirming it, I tried relaunching chrome. It was fine. But then, as soon as I started a livestream @ twitch, my game started freezing again. Killed flash and problem was solved.

Game freezes:
End Time: 13:50
Pretender: 19:49 and 20:03
Right after the one at 20:10 I move to my external HDD. Testing at 26:40 and at 28:18 I move back to my internal HDD.
Freezing again at Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer at 33:26
34:20 I talk about what I changed in my PC.
34:35 I kill chrome and repeat the same map that froze a few minutes before. Game runs smoothly.
