Hi, I just built a new pc, and the part list goes as the following:

[PCPartPicker part list](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wyqLdC) / [Price breakdown by merchant](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wyqLdC/by_merchant/)


**CPU** | [Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-
**CPU Cooler** | [Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler]
**Motherboard** | [Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) ATX LGA1150 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory]
**Storage** | [Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive]
**Storage** | [Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Video Card** | [MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card]
**Case** | [Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Advanced ATX Mid Tower Case]
**Power Supply** | [SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply]
**Optical Drive** | [Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer]
**Operating System** | [Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro (OEM) (64-bit)]
**Monitor** | [Asus VS248H-P 24.0" Monitor]
**Case Fan** | [Cooler Master Blade Master 76.8 CFM 120mm Fan]


And currently my PC will freeze up on the current program I'm using, but everything else runs in real time. Most of the time if the program is non intensive it recovers, but not with more intensive things like games. This happens with any program at any given moment, but it's inconsistent and has happened under 20% load conditions, and at 100% cpu load conditions.

Ideas?
