Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z170X-UD5-CF (U3E1) - Motherboard

I was playing The Division with the newest patch (1.5) and I noticed that some times in game my character would lock up and continue to run in the direction I was going until I spammed alt+tab or my mouse and keyboard and I would randomly regain control.

Tonight it happened again but instead the client crashed and the sound from my motherboard no longer works. When I tried to go to YouTube to watch a video, I kept getting errors instantly and no video would play. After a restart I could hear the login Skype sound for a split second then dead silence until next restart.

The sound works when I connect my headset to the headphone jack that is on the top side in front of my tower Its a Fractal case of some kind) but not when I plug it into the back of the tower like usual. Any idea what my problem could be?
