Run it in Safe mode.
If the freezing continues, then it's probably a hardware problem.
Loose components and cable connections, overheating(CPU, system, video card), and bad memory are the usual causes, but do not rule out a bad power supply or video card.

If it runs ok in Safe mode, then do a clean boot to troubleshoot the problem.

Also make sure you have sufficient case/cpu cooling. Heat will lock 'er up.
