Hey guys, for several weeks now, my computer has had the problem of randomly locking its screen (freezing). The picture on the monitor freezes and I can't do anything, move my mouse, alt-tab, etc.

Hints:
The CPU tends to slow down its fan speed when the PC is about to freeze.

I have tried re-seating the RAM, done windows memory diagnostic, and swapping out different
sticks, no change.

I have run the DLG quick test on the hard drive. That test passed as well.

I have re-installed Windows 7 and updated to the most recent graphics drivers.

I have cleaned out some of the dust from my CPU/case.

That's all I can think of for now, please let me know of anything you can think of.

I ran the quick sector error scan and they all came back green.

Full scan was clean, too.
