Hi guys. Whilst im playing ESO, i noticed that every now and then (not often) the game, and my pc will freeze for a short time. Then it will unfreeze and everything is fine. During this time i noticed that my GPU usage drops from whatever % it is at currently, to 0% during this time frame.

i know that my GPU is not the problem, because i've just upgraded my GPU from a gtx 670 to a gtx 780, and im having the same issue. Any advice would be great thanks, my spec is as follows;

Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator x6 Heat
Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus, Black M
650W Corsair Enthusiast Series 650T
1TB Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 7
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Zotac Gtx 780 AMP! edition GPU
Intel Core i5 4670K, S 1150, Haswel
Asus Z87-PRO, Intel Z87, S 1150, DD
Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD±RW Writer 24x S

I've tried updating my bios, other than that I dont know what to try.

Thanks in advance for your help guys

Freezing is causing that to happen. Find the problem to that freezing first.
Check your load temps of your cpu and gpu.
Check cable connectors internal and externally.
Do a memtest on your ram
