Open Event Viewer and look for error codes or warnings just before or at the time of the freezes.

Here is a link from within this forum to help get you started:

Take your time and explore the logs first. Any given log may report "no entries" but is in fact gathering data. Wait a minute or so to be sure that there is no data.

Rightclicking a log entry will provide more information.

See what you can find.
