Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes and warnings that occur just before or at the time of the freezes

May flag some software issues.

Or it could be that some component has worked loose over time or is overheating.

So what you can do is power down, unplug the power cable, and open the case.

Check that all cards, cables, chips, jumpers, etc. are all fully and firmly in place.

If the case is full of dust, hair, paper scraps, food crumbs, insect bodies, and other debris - clean the case with canned air. Follow the guidelines and read some "how-to's" beforehand if you have never cleaned a case.

Or find a knowledgeable friend or family member to help especially if you are not comfortable trying to do the cleaning on your own.
