    Wow that's very hot, even for CPU temperature. What processor are you running and what cooler do you have on it? It may be high time to replace it for a better cooler.

    u dnt run anyhting and the teperature is 145 farenheit ( 62celcius) that is too high i get these temps when i lay a top end game and even less most of the time clean the cpu heatsink up how many rpm's are the fans spinning at what equpment do you have installed any agp's,pci soundcards,capture cards,tv tuners make sure the fans are spinning if you have an intel motherboard download intel active monitor it tells oyu if oyur ps is too low and your temp and fan speed

    reseat the heatsink as appears there is an air gap between the cpu & heatsink. if using a pad between cpu & heatsink than need to use a bit of heatsink compound between the 2.

    Does your harddrive make a sound when the freeze is about to happen or happened?
    I had a problem like this once and it turned out one of the discs or something inside my HDD had slipped out of position. Got a new one for free from the people I bought PC off and luckily they gave me one that as 20gig bigger :D

    That's an unlikely issue to be fair, there are many more benign causes for the problem.

    When your PC freeze's does the blue screen come up or does it just
    freeze at the desktop? Have you change any PC settings before it started freezing?
    A similar problem happened to a friend of mine and when I had a look some of the important service on his PC were set to stop. After the services were restarted the PC was ok. Your temps are too high and have you considered installing another fan?

    how many fans total in case & what are their locations as you have a heat problem caused by poor air flow??
