Start by checking the fans inside to make sure they are not clogged with dust and making the PC overheat.

sounds to me a driver problem as your gettin a error report!!

only time my computer has freezed up on me as bin due to wrong graphics card driver installed ither by me or windows updates..ur looky to get a error report as i dident hehe

first thin I WOULD DO is start pc in safe mode..if you have no error report and evrything is fine its something to do with a driver or a program ect

if somehow you still get a error report check the ovius like are ALL fans spining FREEly and no dust
if still no look then id try a SYSTEM RESTOR bk the a date evrything wos ok if stil no look try anova graphics card..

let us no how you get on :)

Does it just freeze, not reboot?

I would say it could be the RAM, check that. If you have twop sticks take one out and let it run on just one. See if you can eliminate the culprit that way.

Also, ensure you CPU/Processor fan is spinning freely.

Do a windows update, and install the lastest drivers for all your hardware. e.g graphics card, sound card etc
