Computer freezing/crashing is almost always due to a bad driver (Graphics driver, Motherboard driver, etc.) or hardware malfunction. The first thing I would suggest is to install (or re-install) the latest version of your graphics driver. If that doesn't work, re-install all other drivers, and then run deep diagnostics on your hardware.
