Issues running Ableton

Hi all,

I built a hackintosh a few weeks ago for a studio I'm building in my house and I got it up and running with minimal issues. I put it aside for a while to finish up sound treatment and a few other things but now I'm about ready to start really using this thing. I hadn't actually loaded up a daw when I got it running initially, and now I'm running into a few issues when trying to run Ableton. It runs and everything in it seems to function so far, but I'm getting random audio artifacts coming through my monitors and every once in a while it freezes and the screen gets a yellow checkerboard overlaid on my screen.

I'm mostly just looking on input into where to start digging. I'm thinking the artifacts in Ableton may be related to the codec version I'm using, though I don't get any artifacts when streaming or playing music. And this seems like a bit of a stab in the dark but maybe the crashing is graphics related? Idk. If I let it go to sleep it also freezes and has a checkerboard of blue squares. I know the sleep issue is common but it may be worth noting it's freezing in a sort of similar way. In either case I'm only sitting at about 18% CPU load so that shouldn't be an issue.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
