My first instinct is to suspect hardware.  Try booting a
Knoppix/Gnoppix/bootable CD distro of your choice and see if that freezes. 
If it does, it's probably hardware, not software.  If not, you can use the
CD-based distro to back up your hard drive.

If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be.
