I am new to building PCs and am not sure what else I should do.
 
What are you doing when it freezes? Anything particular? Have you tested your hard drive for errors? Does it run fine after installing windows but before installing drivers?
 
I'm doing doing anything really particular, sometimes it will just freeze just listening to music, Havn't tested for HDD errors, and havn't tried running without drivers installed.
 
Well, you'll have to do some diagnosing and let us know what you've done and what the results are. Are you using 1333mhz or 1600mhz memory?
 
Go into the bios and change the speed and timings so that it matches the timings of your memory. They default to 1333mhz settings. I'm sure thats not causing the freezing though. May want to run memtest on your memory as well.
