Getting 1-2 second video freezing and audio stuttering when playing MMOs and/or streaming videos. It is infrequent enough for me to recreate it and it is very annoying every time it happens because I know it is not supposed to.

Specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z87OC
Ram: 16gb DDR3 Corsair Vengence
CPU: i7 4770k
GPU: EVGA 760 2gb
850w PSU

I had overclocked the CPU with some software provided by the motherboard. After doing this, while gaming it would cause my video drivers to crash completely and recover when gaming. I reverted the changes (I think correctly) in the bios back to default, but I am still getting the same freezing / audio stammering that occurs before a driver crash, just less frequent and it only lasts 1 to 2 seconds and the driver does not crash.

I believe it may be settings involved with my GPU and CPU but I don't know for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
