my computer keeps freezing

Q660
4GB RAM
720 GB Hard Drive

it just randomly started freezing, but when i do CTRL + ALT + DEL and open task manager it suddenly unfreezes for about 2 minutes but then it freezes again, so i have to open task manager again...

any suggestions??? running AVG Anti virus scan now
 
ive done a partial recovery (vista)

its still randomly freezing until i open task manager...............whats the solution to this, it cant be a big problem
 
ive installed a new OS (Windows 7) and done a FULL format, it is still freezing. about to run memtest86 i will post results after its completed, meanwhile anybody got any suggestions of what to do
 
i done memtest NO problems

i done check disc on C Drive, no problems.

im really confused, this freezing has totally come out the blue, somebody got a solution to this, its doing my head in

I'd do the following:

1. Post your temperatures, underload and idle.
2. When you ran memtest, did you test a single stick at a time? If not, do this.
3. Remove unnecessary hardware from Motherboard.
4. Does your computer freeze when opening Task Manager when not connected the internet?
5. Download the diagnostic tools for your hard drive and test, they pickup issues that a check disk may not.
6. Use a spare hard drive for a new installation of your OS, if possible.

When I installed Windows 7 it wouldn't start until I removed my wireless card...as has been said, try ditching all but the bare essentials from you mobo and see what happens. Then you can replace them one by one to see what's causing the problem.
