Now about these freezes - you have to say something more about them. When do they happen - in game, anywhere. Do they go away? Is it short freeze (longer stutter) or does it end with reset/bosd? Is sound still playing when it is happening? From my personal limited experience most of these are caused by either HDD going bad and freezes whole system to load some shit into ram or psu is going bad and fails to power gpu with juice it needs.
