    ok here is what happened:
    i disconnected the old hdd (the 1 terabyte one mentioned in my original post
    i connected the new 160gb hdd (western digital wd1600aajs 160gb 7200 rpm 8 mb cache sata 3.0gb/s)
    the new hdd (160gb one) was formatted and i installed win 7. everything was freshly installed.

    i ran assassins creed, i still froze in the same place the 1 terabyte hdd froze, twice.
    same with world of warcraft, game does the same freezes even tho its a new hdd.

    conclusion: its not the hard drive.

    any other suggestions please?

    the 160gb hard disk was connected to a sata II 300 port
    the old hdd (the 1 terabyte one) was connected to a sata III 600 port
    so they were each connected to different ports on the motherboard WITH different cables each.

    Fill in your system specs
    Please follow this tutorial and download the tool. The tool will give you detailed information about your system specs, fill in your system specs more completely including PSU, cooling and other used stuff like mouse, keyboard, monitor, case, etc.
    The PSU, cooling and other stuff are NOT mentioned in the tool.

    In the left corner below in your post you find 'My System Specs'. After clicking it you can find a link a little below that says 'Update your System Spec', click on this link to get to the page where you can fill in your system specs.

    i have followed the tutorial and filled in my specs.

    ''do you have another video card to try?''
    i have tested with a different video card than i have now and at least some of the freezing is still there. i tested WoW. dont know about assassins creed. i didnt have the chance to test that one.

    also i have removed the dust from my pc. freezing is still there.
    also the three fans are working. the one on the processor and the two on the video card.

    The mobo and PSU are the only parts that cannot be tested with software, the mobo can only be tested by replacement. The PSU can be tested by testing the voltages.
    PSU - Test DC Output Voltage
