Stuttering with new build

[dsnelson23]

Just finished new build and having some issues. Have installed all new drivers and windows updates. When playing skyrim, occasionally when i load the game the sound is distorted and gameplay stutters. Remains that way until I restart my computer. When the sound is working fine, the game stutters occasionally, maybe once every 30 seconds or so. Problems seem to become more frequent when my computer has been on for a couple of hours or so. Seems to get some of the kinks out after restarting but once i leave my computer for a while and comeback later it seems to be more frequent. Also, after computer has been on for a while, even browsing the internet it stutters and loads slowly. I have checked CPU and GPU temps and both are good at all times. Anyone with some help that would be great. Here are my specs...

i7-2600
Intel DZ68BC mobo
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Ripjaws X Series 16Gb 240-pin DDR3 1333
Windows 7 Ultimate

That helped out with skyrim but did not cure it. I still have all of the other problems tho. Could it be something with my GPU driver? I have 285.62 driver installed.

Have you tried any of the newer drivers?

When i go to the nvidia website to find drivers it tells me that i have the most current one. Is that not correct? Also, i have noticed that my comp is exponentially worse after i wake it from sleep mode. If I restart it then its ok but once i leave it and return it from sleep mode, its back to being very slow.

I would say that it's either a memory problem or a heat problem.

I ran skyrim for about an hour on ultra settings and my average CPU temp was 42C with max of 49C and GPU max temp was 71C.
