freeze means unstable..
add your core voltage..a single notch of it should fix it..

and decrease your htlink speed to 2200Mhz or kept as near to 2000 MHz as possible

Thanks for the reply. However I've tried the following with no avail:

Decrease htlink speed to 2200Mhz and leaving core voltage the same: Still freezes browsing the web.
Decrease htlink speed to 2000Mhz and leaving core voltage the same: Still freezes browsing the web.
Decreasing the htlink speed to 2200Mhz and uping the core voltage one notch all the way up to 1.404 volts: Still freezes browsing the web.

For some reason I can play Battlefield 4 for hours with no problems it's just using chrome or even letting it idle for awhile and coming back.

okay, any gadget or usb stuff plugged in to usb ports..? unplug all of it, except keyboard and mouse.
1. Hard reset your computer, with motherboard jumper.
2. Try to run with single graphic card only..
3. Try to reseat your noctua cpu cooler..and reseat your cpu too..
