    Download the Linux UBCD.

    Burn it with your favorite burning app or any free burning application.

    Boot with it and do a test on your RAM with both WMD and MemTest. Use MemTest 4 or 3 - you don't need to use both versions.

    Do a test of your hard drive after to be sure.

    Check your PSU rating and use an online calculator or some other application to determine if your PSU is enough for your rig. Also test your PSU if you have a tester or access to one.

    Once you've confirmed that the drives, RAM and PSU are good then you can start looking at your software.

    I didn't bother with the CPU/board as his machine boots. But I guess he could do a Prime test and see what happens.
    We never know too much that we can't learn. Unfortunately most Jamaicans are about "hurry come up" and swatting than actually learning....

    What are the components of your rig, you might have some conflicting components. Make sure you try Khat's testing suggestions.

    When it freezes, does it eventually start responding again? Does it crash to a BSoD, power off by itself or forces you to do a hard shutdown? Your post needs to be more detailed than that for anyone to assist you.

    Could it also be due to the temperature? U can try to install something to monitor ur temps and check whether they go high before it freezes.

    If you have an AMD 5xxx switch to 2011 drivers and see what happens. I had similar problems after a driver update.
