Check that your not over clocking the CPU. To much voltage or heat will lock up a CPU. Check that CPU heat sink on tight and the CPU not cooking. Check to see if your mb bios has all of the bug fixes..run memtest86.

...and that your thermal paste is not leaked. Buy a new one see if is the cause.

Your computer keeps hanging and freezing--you don't know that it is your CPU. CPU=Central Processing Unit. CPU=/=computer.

Also, list the make and model of all your parts. Are you getting BSODs?
