My build consists of a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650 ti Boost, an AMD FX-8320 8 core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a TB hdd.

Ever since I put it together, I'm getting random system freezes, driver crashes, and FPS lag in some games. I really shouldn't be having these problems because my RAM never exceeds 3 GB in usage and my CPU never reaches above 10%. I don't understand what's going on with the system, all the parts are brand new and none of them are low end. It's all random, too. It works like a dream, then suddenly the windows I have open will freeze, or the fps' in my game will drop to 10 or 20, or the driver just crashes altogether. Anyone have any clue as to what's going on?
