Your iMac's BIOS date is about a month earlier than mine. Likely the only
difference between ours is you have G92M [GeForce 8800M GTS] while I have
RV630/M76 [Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT/2700]. If yours is anything like mine, it
generates a lot of heat. Has yours ever had an internal cleaning? It may need its
heat sink compound on CPU and/or GPU replaced. System freezes are a common symptom
of overheating. Also, RAM is subject to failure with age and overheating. Have you
tried running memtest86?
