Does it run a lot of code, create a lot of instances or something like that?

Check if an instance has zero scale. That causes an infinite loop on precise collisions or something like that iirc.

Since when you get that hiccup?
What did you add in the game since?
Because if you really can't tell, you can double your project and then remove what you added 1 by 1 until the hiccup is gone.

The OP has problems with finite loops that cause temporary freezes, so this can't be the cause.

Most people think tile_layer_find and instance_deactivate_object don't constitute a lot of code because they only take up 1 line in the editor. So maybe he was interpreting your question as a huge-ass chunk of code rather than a couple lines of slow-AF functions.

Okay, okay. There's only one way we can say works with certainty given the information presently available: get faster hardware.

Also, you're now on my ignore list for eschewing trying to provide accurate advice. Feel free to waste your time promoting plug-and-play solutions and stop people from learning critical thinking, but you're not gonna waste my time with it.

All joking aside, nobody can help you until you show what's your code. What you describe is either a crappy computer or you are using high intensity functions incorrectly.

A crappy computer - from my experiences with my old Windows XP machine that I stopped using only very recently - would be more likely to have a constantly lowered framerate rather than have sudden spikes of lag, especially if nothing 'eventful' happens. So even that suggests there are actually bursts of too much stuff happening with set intervals.
