Many possible causes of freezing.
1. Check out your OS
First try System File Checker
Winkey plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type
sfc /scannow then
Enter
It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system
If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Re-run SFC
To view CBS Log
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down.
2. Check System for overheating
D'load and run Speccy

Check temperature after running a game for a while.
(Click Green tab next to Temperature for real time graph)
3. Check RAM.
If you have more than one stick, try running on one at a time. Or run Memtest 86.
Best run the bootable version, as it checks out the areas of RAM normally occupied by Windows.

Then create bootable CD or USB Flash
4. Check HDD for mechanical errors

Update Drivers, especially GPU
If Desktop, exchange GPU if possible.
6. Generally check for poor connectivity.
