Where do you see anything was fixed? You're previous comment suggested as such but I just figured you were drunk or something.

This is what brilman said "Thought it may be the power supply but turns out it just needed a real good cleaning."
I'm not drunk or something,just commenting on his fix, as far as S!X goes he hasn't got back so hopefully he's giving his system a good clean,we will see.

I haven't totally dismantled my computer but I did open up my case and blew off most of the dust in there, on the mobo/fans/video card etc. I don't know if that helped or not, there really wasn't a lot in there. I haven't experienced any freezing episodes so far, but they happen out of no where. I'll report back if it happens again

you never know,we are all trying our own examples to try and fix a fellows pc,hopefully 1 of us is right. But blowing the dust out of the box isn't going to fix the prob,you need to physically pull each card out and clean the contacts and blow the slot as well to make sure.
Doing a good cleaning is always a good point to start, and if your careful its fairly safe. Beside blowing things out (If your system is such that you can remove four screws of the CPU fan to get at the heat sink its more efficient than just air using an old paint brush to get inside the fins), while your in there its a good idea to go around unplugging and reseating your hardware and connectors. Just pulling them and pushing back in (or really wiggling) is often enough to clean any oxidation manually. And stuff does vibrate loose on occasion. I had a drive that kept triggering SMART DRIVE that stopped after I replugged it, and simlar with a power supply that warned of voltages out of spec. The supply did eventually fail (Antec Basic with cheap chinese caps) but playing with the connections got me another year before I had to replace it.
