Brand New Mac Pro Constant Freezing

Hey guys,


I have a late 2013 Mac Pro that is constantly freezing. It happens randomly and isn't tied to any particular task.


Specs:

3.7 GHz Quad-Core

8GB

Running Yosemite


Here are a few lines from console at the moment the most recent freeze occurred:


10/8/15 11:21:13.224 AM Saffire MixControl[311]: timerFireMethod start

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Tried uninstalling the audio software and it's crashed 3 times tonight.
