Hi Ryan,

Start by running the memory diagnostic as random freezes can be memory
related. Simply type "memory diagnostic tool" into the search line and
select it from the menu. It will run on a system restart and then give you a
report on the memory's condition. If faulty, replace it.

If it passes, you might want to look at updating video drivers as they are
the next most common cause.
