Freezing can often be overheating. Blow out the CPU heatsink and power supply with compressed air if needed. |

A lot of things can cause freezing (faulty power supply, memory, etc). Are you getting any error messages? You can try a bit of dusting, but your system BIOS should give you the temperature that you are operating at, so you can check to see where you were when you crashed.
PS: If you have a diagnostic CD that came with your PC, now would be the time to use it. |
