Hmm, well if your system is "freezing" all the time, it's obviously too cold in the case. Heat that thing up with a space heater!!
...Heh, kidding.
Like someone else said, you need to test your ram. Not Prime95, that's a stress test; different purpose. You need to use memtest86. You can download the program and burn the thing to a CD or flash drive or something and boot it. It individually tests each section of your ram for errors. Look it up online for better tutorials and stuff.
Does your BIOS allow you to undervolt that ram? 1.8v is generally the standard. Also, what's the voltage of your proc? You could have inadvertently jacked it up, though that's unlikely considering your temps.
In my experience, delayed freezing or restarting is usually due to bad or incompatible ram (I had dual channel ram in a single channel board once
![:D :D]()
) or more frequently, plain overheating. In my old crappy mid tower, I had two 80mm fans and they weren't sufficient; the thing would randomly restart in hot weather.
Now I have a ridiculous Rocketfish/Lian Li full tower, with 3 120mm fans, which do a fine job.
Now my room is frickin hot though.
*edit*

NO! Don't start changing your GPU out because of stupid marketing crap; it might be SLI certified and not crossfire certified, but single GPUs will work in any compatible PCIe slot.
Hey, how many sticks of ram did you have in there? There is a certain, very picky arrangement that the slots must have, and if you do it wrong, some mobos go psycho.
Thanks for your reply. Let me explain the problem briefly.
When I first purchased (2 months ago) my system, I had low tower chasis with one cooler fan in rear side. Everything went fine in the shop as they have Air Conditioned room. But soon I brought them to home they started freezing in boot up, in desktop, in playing music video. I took my system to that shop again and seemed no problem there. I brought my system again in home and keep it off for one day. After changing the whether (bit cold) I opened it and found that it's running in desktop without any freezing problem. But whenever I tried to play any game (including HAWX that came with Card) system freezes within 5 to 10 minutes. I posted the problem in different technical forum and came to know that it is overheating issues which causes system to freeze.
So I replaced my case with Thermaltake fulltower case. After replacing case, I was able to run my pc smoothly. I played call of duty 5 for 5 hours without any freezing problem. But after 6 hours of playing system got freeze up again. It was also happening while browsing net and playing music in background.
I posted problem in wikipedia IT department and got a reply that, system with 4890 1 gb card needs to run in 20* Celsius and system freezing during browsing is happening due to overheat of serial devices. I increased the fan speed to lower the temperature. Temperature went down from 63 Celsius to 48 Celsius. But nothing significantly changed.
I live in warm country and my room temperature is too high (sunlight directly attacks to room). My old system almost died because of "Thermal Overheat". That's why I had to buy new one.
My Ram is 4 GB 800 MHz. Mobo contains 4 slots for ram. I attached my new ram in third slot as duel channel mode (Based on mobo manual).
If it was really ram issue then why the system freezes in low tower chasis within minutes (in game) and freezes in new system within hours in full tower chasis
Bus speed of mobo (ddr2) and processor is 1333MHz but bus speed of ram is 800 MHz. Is it incompatible?
So is not it graphics card that caused system to freeze?
