If the screen goes to like a "freeze frame", then the first thing I would check would be the fan on the processor, as it may be the the processor overheating.

check you have the latest BIOS on your motherboard, although older, my Athlon 800 equipped ASUS mainboard needed an update to stop it crashing with XP/2000
