Hello I recently upgraded my graphics card from a dying GTX 470 to a gtx 770 and while I can play games at a higher detail most/all games end up not responding and my gpu % used drops to 0 then a few seconds to a min it comes back making playing online games frustrating and I can not seem to figure out the problem, I have tried lowering the graphics it does not help, I have also made sure the drivers are all up to date. Firefox has not responded twice while typing this. also with the graphics card it is default as it came i have not messed with clocking before. Any help would be appreciated.



MY build is:
Cool Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP
AMD FX 6100 six core processor
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD motherboard
2x4 GB G.SKill Trident X series 240 Pin DDR3 SD RAM
Corsair GS700 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLi Ready Cross Fire ready 80 plus bronze certified
MSI Geforce GTX 770 2.0 GB overclocked edition

I plugged the gpu into the new slot it stills freezes it is the gaming over clocked edition does that matter? Would changing the clock speed work or is the gpu simply defective or is there a way for testing it?
