Thanks,

Welcome to the forum.

No much showing just get these:


Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running - Click Scan and…..
Place a check against the following items if found:

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Freezing can be caused by many things including overheating of the cpu, have you checked if all the fans are working and aren't all clogged up with dust?

Take a look at Jack Gulley's ME-Fixes - The bible to running ME well.

Use that as a guide and see if you can't resolve your problem.
