Short system freeze (Sierra 10.12.6)

I had to reinstall my hack a couple of months ago and ever since I experience these short periods of unresponsiveness (varying from 30s to 2min) followed by everything rapidly popping up because I'm impatient enough to click any icon in sight 🙄

This usually happens after the computer is not used for a while (couldn't determine an exact time here either--extremes were 15 and 40 minutes) and as a temporary solution to avoid the issue is to make sure some music is playing when I leave the desk.

What I have: • an old Dell vostro 460 mother board • i3 3225 3.3GHz • GTX 750TI • SSD kingston v300 240GB • 16 GB Kingston memory

What I tried: • changed darkwake values • updated drivers • checked ssd • checked ram (as someone suggested that physical memory issues might cause similar symptoms)

Any other suggestions, please?
