It recently started after I moved and it will suddenly freeze my pc up. i mean that literally. mouse will get frozen, keyboard is frozen and i cant do anything on the screen.

none of the shortcuts work from the keyboard (cntrl+alt+del,alt+f4 etc..) and it just locks up! only way out is to hit the reset button and it's been happening more and more recently!!

mostly happens when im using my browser maxthon, but i've been using it for a looooooong time now so i dont think that's it. only other common thing i run is xfire, but i doubt thats it either. i cant seem to narrow this down, plz help!

Something may have come loose during the move. Maybe not totally but slightly.
Reseat everything, cards, cables and power connectors.

Check the usual culprits. Check CPU temperature, and PSU voltages using speedfan (www.almico.com/speedfan.php) and check memory using memtest (www.memtest86.com).
