Crashing much more frequently on new hardware.

Hey guys, I just built a mostly new rig last month, and since doing so my crashes to desktop have been much more frequent, almost entirely on TF2.

I've been experiencing 2 kinds of crashes, either a quick and sudden hl2.exe is not responding right to desktop, or a big freeze/audio hang for about 5-10 seconds mid-game, after which I am apparently still in-game, moving and such, with my audio still playing, but my video feed is frozen, calling for a restart.

The quick hl2 crashes are much more frequent than the hang up ones, but considering neither were an issue before my new build, I'm not sure what the issue is. When I finished my build, I upgraded from W7 to W10 on a fresh install, so I am unsure if it's the new hardware, possibly a flubbed installation of a part, or if it's W10 itself.

The only things I didn't upgrade were my GPU, and my drives, 2 SSDs and one HDD. Here's my DxDiag info, if it helps.

This issue is extremely frustrating as I play med for my esea team, and there's nothing more upsetting than getting ready to push with full ad into their last, just to suddenly be on my desktop.

Thanks in advance for your help!
