When I get into a game my computer will randomly freeze and the audio will stutter. I re-formatted my hard drive and the same thing is happening, so i think it is a problem with my hardware(I tried re-intalling all my drivers but have not had luck). I need help trying to find the faulty hardware in my computer. I custom built my pc and have verified that it is not a problem with my power supply(Corsair 750). I have 8gb of ram and a intel i5 processor with a nvidia 650ti with a asrock z87 extreme 3 motherboard. Thank you for your time.

To get the drivers for your hardware, you go to the manufacture’s website of the component, go to Support>Download>Drivers and select the correct driver for that component. The exception is you go to NVidia for your graphics driver. Start with all of your motherboard drivers (all of them), then the video driver, then the rest of them.
I am suspecting a temperature issue, especially if this is your first build. Please verify that you used the correct application of thermal compound (or factory applied compound):

Also include a list of all case fans, location in the case, and the orientation of each fan.
Please list all components including case (for cooling details and for top or bottom mount power supply since this effects cooling strategies) with makes and model numbers.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
