Custom Built Gaming PC Freezing Issues

[nuggsly]

So I've had this custom-built gaming pc for 3 years now and recently its been having freezing issues. I play games like League of Legends and WoW mostly and it seems to only freeze during LoL. I know for a fact that its not the game, which complicates things. I had a family friend build the computer for me in 2011 since I wasn't too educated about building my own pc. While playing the computer will lock up completely, I can't do anything except wait a few minutes for it to come back or hard reset the system. I've reinstalled windows, bought a new graphics card and had windows installed on an SSD and it still freezes. A technician told me that my hard drive is corrupt, which is why I bought the SSD to put windows on and keep my crappy one for all my games. Is my system crashing because I still have the old hard drive, or is it something else? Specs are below.

Specs:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Windows 7
Asus P8P67 Pro Motherboard
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB (windows installed)
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB SATA 6.0Gb/s HDD (crappy one)

Please let me know if there is anymore information that is needed! Thanks!

You issue will likely be from excess heat or out of date drivers. Walk through the ASUS web site for your board and verify everything is up to date from a driver / chipset perspective. Same thing with the 750 Ti. Are you overclocking? Have ample case fans prompting front-to-back air flow?
