The first thing I look for when a system starts acting this way is malware. Malware is a general term for viruses and spyware. Depending on how fuctional you system is you may be limited in what you can do. Its very frustrating to start fixing something only to have the system freeze up. You can begin by dowloading a couple tools from the Internet (if possible) then rebooting the PC into safe mode. Go to Sysinternals and download Autoruns. Then get Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.com. Ad-Aware will search for spyware and help you clean items from your system. You may need to do several scans, rebooting in between, to get everything off. AutoRuns is a fantastic application that finds all of the items in your system that start, or are executed, automatically when your PC starts up. This can help you to locate items that are related to malware. When you find something bad dont just delete it. There may be additional steps to cleaning other parts up as well. Often what you find and delete is replaced if you do not get ALL of the parts of the malware removed. If you are not using an Anti Virus application I strongly suggest you do so. In my humble opinion McAfee is the curent best of breed. But Norton and others do a good job. Last tip: if you are logging into your PC with an account that has Administrative rights you are doing yourself more harm than good. When malware finds its way onto your PC the program(s) will likely run under your credentials (your user acocunt and associated rights). If your account is an Administrator of the machine then you have full access to all areas of the PC and so does the malware. 99% of the time you do not need high level access, so create a new user for yourself and make it a "Basic User". Give it a pass phrase (this is better than a password and easier to remember) and change or add a pass phrase to the built in Administrator account and your old user account. In teh future use the basic user account for everything unles syou are installing or removing software etc. You will surf safer and have far less chance of compromising your PC with malware in the future. Cleaning malware is a labor intensive process. Be patient and dont give up.

a freezing problems could be
hardware: memory insufficiency => add more memory or memory slowly going bad or some bad section
hard drive almost full=>remove unnecessary items or add a new hard drive;hard drive may have developed bad sector=>check the disk for errors
software: what programs you have installed that have made it so? scan with antivirus
scan with anti-spyware, adware, malware program
install a firewall, hey it may be able to detect some virus trying to connect to the internet
get "Hijack this" and have the report generated analysed by knowledgeable person.
registry could have become bloated
Get toniarts EasyCleaner, using which you can remove unwanted registry entries, temporary files, duplicate files, etc
but use it with caution esp. deleting the registry entries
last step re-format, re-install windows

Have you downloaded any new programs or software lately? That will do it. I downloaded IE7.0 an had the same problem. The only way to get rid of something is to go into systems restore and back date the computer.

Some steps can be to try
-antivirus scan
-antispyware scan
-do a defragment
-uninstall unnessecary programs
-clean your registry
If these steps wont work they you will have to format everything and re-install windows. This can also be a good time to consider switching to a superior O.S. such as linux

down load windows advanced care before you run it get rid of all the programs you really don't need I mean all of them you can always re-install if you need it. also get a program called code-stuff starter run it and uncheck all the things you don't need starting up in the meantime go to pcpitstop dot com and run a full test there they'll help you with security and the start ups not to worry they're all free.
