I upgraded to a new computer just under a month ago, and noticed a few problems with it, but I have no idea what or why it is being caused.
System Specs:
i5-4670k
ASUS Z97M-Plus
4x4GB Kingston HyperX RAM
GTX 760 WINDFORCE
AzzA 850W PSU
2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda
When I ran it the first time I noticed no problems, though I didn't play any games. I overclocked it a couple days later and loaded games on to it. I was getting constant frame drops, games that should be playing at a constant 60 were playing at 45, sometimes 30. I initially thought it was the GPU, but I tried it in my old rig:
Old Rig Specs:
i7 950
DX58SO
3x2GB Corsair RAM
1x320GB Seagate Barracuda
550W Tagan PSU
I was getting a constant 60 fps again with my computer. Following the advice of James Mason, I put the CPU back to stock settings. It lags horribly, even as I am typing this, the words are delayed by a good 10 seconds before they show up.

Here is a screenshot I took before the lag hit, of my computer idling basic tasks and the CPU stuck at 100%. It wasn't, but my display seems to be way behind the rest of my computer. I think this is something to do with the CPU, because it's only affected when I change the clock speeds of my processor.
Any one know why this is happening? I cannot contact Intel support until Tuesday because I work Monday and they are closed on Weekends.
EDIT: Just OC'd again and it runs fine doing regular tasks. http://puu.sh/chPMs/09e912e74c.png
Barely breaks a sweat.
