Thanks for your reply I really appreciate your willingness to help me.
I have since installed Big Sur in an attempt to see if the freezing issue stops but alas, the same is happening so it must be to do with hardware or maybe even graphics card. To be clear, I have been running Mojave with zero problems for the past 5 years on my mac Pro 5.1 and only decided to try the OCLP upgrade route last week and thats when my problems started.
I have 2 x 1TB Samsung 970 EVO SSD
