    When you have a temporary freeze it's probably because the resources are transferred to another application.
    I would bet that is Windows Update. Try to run WU manually to see what is being downloaded and installed.

    Try a Clean Boot. If that works, you can keep it that way. Or you can add on Startup Item or Service at a time until the computer starts freezing, then you will know what the culprit is.
