My Desktop PC occasionally freezes yet the panel clock seconds keep ticking.

Hi.
My 2013 machine makes a sound like it's about to shut off. It did power off once about 3 weeks ago for no apparent reason.
It freezes for up to 30 seconds and then comes back. Some days this never happens. Other days like today, it can occur multiple times.
In GNOME Disks Utility, the HDD looks ok. I tested the RAM with memtest86+ and it's was ok. Could it be a PSU issue? Is there a way in Debian to find out? Is '/var/log/syslog' the best place to look?
I'm using the Nouveau drivers and kernel 5.4.0-0.bpo.4-amd64. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
Thanks.
