I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my PC where it freezes for about 15 seconds every 5 to 15 minutes, regardless of whether I'm playing games or just using one app. I'm not looking for suggestions about replacing parts since I plan to upgrade soon, but I need help figuring out what might be causing these freezes with my current setup, which includes an i5-4th generation CPU and a GTX 750 GPU.

It might be your SSD. Consider checking its health using tools like Crystal Disk Info or HWInfo. A failing SSD can definitely cause freezes.
Have you updated your system's drivers recently? Issues like these are often caused by outdated drivers, especially for your BIOS and graphics card. It might be worth checking if there's any update available since you got your PC back from the repair shop.
Yeah, I got it back in November, so I might need to check on that.
