I built this PC just this past week, all of the parts were brand new. I've been keeping the gaming to a moderate level, really only playing Skyrim and SimCity at max levels.

I started noticing an issue with the computer. Every once in a while, the PC will begin to slow down or freeze, making going back to desktop really hard. I sometimes left Chrome tabs open and would close them. After that the problem goes away for a while but comes back again eventually. I checked Task Manager and Chrome was only using 2.3 GB and I doubt Skyrim uses the rest of the ~14 GB.

What is wrong with the computer?
