Hello there guys and girls! Im having some problems with my pc and whats better than tomshardware to get your questions answered! So here it is!

I have my rig for about 3 years so far and no problems came up till 1 month ago! I left my pc at 1st of July at the house/town i study to get back to my hometown for summer. After i got back at 2-3 September and started my pc, it begun randomly freezing, 90% of the times the freeze was gone after 1 minute and it would occur many more times and a 10% i needed a restart. I have never formated it or made any hard disc defragment or anything, just got avast running. What possibly could lead to these freezes just after the summer (notice that in these 3 years it never froze even once, started to happening just the last 1-2 months)

Expect from format, interior cleaning and thermal pastes what else should i do for a mini revive? Thanks in advance for your time :)

Solution
The EVGA 600B is a poor unit it cold be the reason
I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / or new G3 /GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II
GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, G3, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series/ I bought a EVGA G3 with 7year garentee

or a corsair 500 600 cxm there not very expensive but quite good not my cup of tea but quite cheap

I doubt very much that PSU can cause problem like that. Those are mostly caused by hitting 100% of use of processor, RAM or disk and everything can slow down or stop until that process is finished. HDD being slowest part is most probable culprit, specially if it's not 100% good.
