My computer will randomly freeze for about 30 seconds and it does it more often when i'm playing games like world of warcraft or warcraft 3. I'm thinking that it's my processor overheating but i'm not sure. Here's my dxdiag: 7/1/2010, 15:11:09 Machine name: NEKO-PC Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.1) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

When you say randomly freeze, do you mean completely lockup to the point you have to reboot, or slow down to a crawl and eventually recover? If the machine locks up, then you can attribute that to something hardware related.
If the machine comes up with a BSOD or reboots, then that could also be hardware or a driver that is interacting badly with the OS. If you slow down to a crawl and then eventually recover, most likely that is a service that is hogging resources (processor time and/or memory) that is eventually releasing those resources for use. Are you running AV/antimalware software? Does the slowdown happen at a regular interval (on the hour, once a say, etc.)? Can you perform an action and expect to see this slowdown occur? When this slowdown happens, are you able to open up your task manager and see if any processes are hogging your system resources? You know, with a processor overheat, speedstep could be activating.didn't think about it that way, but it would be a lot more prevalent than just a random 30 seconds every now and then.
To be on the safe side, pull the HSF, clean the TIM off the HSF and CPU spreader, and then reapply the proper amount (a bead the size of a large grain of rice or small pea) and reattach the HSF, making sure all the pins seat properly. With the stock Intel heat sinks, you have to really apply the right pressure to the white push pins to get them to engage correctly. See if that doesn't resolve the issue. I'm getting freezes outside of games now and BSOD's quite frequently. I tried reinstalling windows 7 but it said The Instruction at 0x12f9b5b7 referenced memory at 0x0000001.
The memory could not be read. I've cleaned my registry and defragmented my C disc. I'm getting a lot of programs not responding and I got no errors when running memtest for 7 hours. B Of A Login. My physical memory has also been going up to about 50% and my cpu usage is really high.
BSOD, random freezes, MemTest with no errors, cant reinstall, up to date drivers. I got a few questions, 1.) have you added ram any time since you bought this computer? 2.) How Many sticks of ram do you have in the system? It doesn't sound like to me the ram it self is bad but it sounds like a memory 'setup' issue that need to be corrected. I've had issues somewhat (not as major but) like yours a little while back when i've add 2 sticks ( two 256MB) with my two 1 GB sticks totaling up to 4 sticks of ram. Ramdom freezes and total system lock up mainly for me on my Intel P4 system.
