Have you defragged it lately? If my pc gives me too many freezes or blue screens I usually go with a reinstall of the whole thing. Also make sure to test to see if it's a memory problem. (SimmTester or Memtest)

Your freezing problem could be due to a number of things. Bad memory, defrag or power supply to mention a few. The list can be quite numerous. It usually boils down to a process of elimination.

Good luck
