I recently put together my first system and I'm having a problem with it. About 1/3 of the time when I click on anything with my mouse, my comuter freezes up, or I guess I would say that it hangs up. When I open up task manager or if I wait long enough it will start responding again but I would like to figure out what my problem is. Any Ideas?

My build is

ASUS M4A78T-E MB
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
Antec EarthWatts EA-500D Green 500W
HIS H577FK1GD Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Windows 7 Home Premium
