Welcome

Here are my solutions to freezing, and an excellent article, which I hope is of some help
Go to search type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers
Download and run malwarebytes, a full scan after you update
Run antivirus scan
Check memory with memtest86
Make sure that you are not over heating.
Try in safe mode; report back if it works properly.
Try a clean boot
Make sure PSU is working properly
If overclocking, restore to original
Test hard drive at company website.
Test in safe mode, does it still happen?
Try with clean boot..

Thank you for the quick reply I'll definitely try the clean boot cause It's the only thing on your list that I didn't done before.

When you changed graphic cards did you out the drivers before you put the new card in, i would try outing the drivers and go to Nvidia and get the latest driver and install them.

I've already installed the latest driver, but I've already put the video card when I installed it. I'll try outing the card and re-install the driver, since my motherboard is on board card.

Please clarify the statement (my motherboard is onboard card) are you saying you have onboard video and a video card, if so you need to turn off the onboard video before you install the video card, you can't run them both at the same time.

Sorry my bad, I mean that my motherboard has an on board attached video card that can be used when you have no video card, but my vga port is connected to my 220GT not on the board card.
