Have you tried booting into Safe Mode to see if the same thing happens? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820T-6645 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel Core i3 380M(2.53GHz) Memory 4GB DDR3 1066 Graphics Card Intel HD Graphics 128MB VRAM Screen Resolution 1366x768 Hard Drives 640GB 5400RPM SATA |

If you can get into Safe Mode like Devux said, open Command Prompt as administrator and type: chkdsk /f Should fix any errors that is causing the computer to freeze.
Or you can do Startup Repair using your Windows 7 installation disk (if you have one). | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number CYBERPOWER OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Athlon II x2 260 (3.20Ghz) Regor 35nm Technology Motherboard ASUSTek M4N68T-M-V2 (AM3 Socket) Memory 4GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @669Mhz (9-9-9-24) Graphics Card Zotac GeForce GTS 450 (1GB) Sound Card Nvidia High Defenition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Acer S231HLbid LED Monitor 23" Screen Resolution 1920x1080 1080p 60Hz Keyboard XTREME Gear USB Keyboard Mouse XTREME Gear USB Mouse PSU SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze Modular Active PFC 80+ Bronze Cert Case Cooler Master Elite Gaming Case Black 430 Cooling Cooler Master Hyper 212 Heatsink.

If yes, then while there, run SFC /SCANNOW from a command prompt:
In other words, run CMD.EXE and then type sfc /scannow and hit the enter key.
If it shows now integrity violations, ggod, but if not, then shutdown your computer and boot up into safe mode again and once again run sfc /scannow.

I can't boot into safe mode Here are 2 " step by step " instructions .......
1. How to boot to Safe Mode :
Turn computer off > turn it back on > immediately and repeatedly tap F8 key until you see a black and white screen. That is your safe mode screen. > use the up/down arrow keys and select Safe Mode with Command Prompt > can you login without computer freezes ?
If yes, you can logon in safe mode, then continue to #2.....
2. How to run system file check :
Click Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at top left, do you see cmd.exe ? If yes, right click at it > click Run As Administrator > at the flashing prompt > copy/paste this command line....... sfc /scannow > press Enter key > it will take some time > sit back and wait. Do not turn off the computer > when finish, it will tell you one of the followings ( I am paraphrasing )......
