Generally, computer keeps freezing is a common problem. I believe that most of us fall across this issue. For instance, a true example from howtogeek.com:

I built my computer a few months ago and now it randomly freezes. Sometimes for 5-10 minutes but other times a hard restart is required. I have disabled some programs from running when the computer boots up such as Skype and that fixed it for about a week but now it is doing it again.

Now, what should we do?
