When My Room isn't freezing my computer restarts and freezes. Does anyone know the problem with it?

Maybe it's getting too hot, throttles down and even shuts off/freezes? Anything else you could share? When's the last time you've cleaned her and removed dust/debris? Fans may be clogged up and not cooling it off?

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!!!!!!
Unless your computer temperature is lower than your room temperature, then you computer isn't literally freezing. Anything could happen, from hardware problems, to overcooling of your hardware, and to using too much HDD spaces. Fix it yourself and eliminate the impossible. Cause we don't know what happened.
:lol:

:lol:As mentioned before - you are likely getting into a thermal situation. Take the box outside and blow out any dust that has collected especially around heat sinks and the power supply. Test again.
If this is still happening - remove all drives except your C: drive. If you have onboard Video - remove any video cards and other peripherals. Test again.
If the problem goes away – start adding components back in until it re-occurs. Note you have not fixed anything yet – just limiting the power draw and slowly increasing it. If the problem occurs before you get all your bits back in – then the last bit you added was the tipping point, or one of the recently added components is faulty. Assuming it was a tipping point – figure out the entire power draw and compare it against your PSU. You can find calculators and such online. This is going with the theory that you are actually overloading your PSU – or that it is aged to the point where it isn’t providing the power it used to.
IF instead the problem persists even after you remove most of the components – then it may be your CPU/heat sink. Remove the heat sink – clean thoroughly and re-apply with good thermal paste. This would be a fine time to upgrade your heat sink – but since you don’t really know if this is the problem – you may want to save your money for now.
Good luck on the problem resolution. You may also want to get an infra-red thermometer gun. That way you can aim it at various components such as your video card or CPU to see how hot things may get. Thermal imaging would be cool – but a bit expensive unless you already have a camera that does that.
My money is on a bad PSU - but you could have a component failure on the motherboard as well. If everything you do fails to get results - then the last thing would be the motherboard. Replace it and hope for the best.
