PC Freeze Problem

Guys help me fix the following:
In last month my PC started to randomly freeze.
It goes like this:
1. PC boots fine(i use windows 7)
2. Works fine, some times for 1 min, sometimes for 6 hours no problems,
3. Than at some point freezes
4. If i reboot right away - it won't start(it will start - the lights are on, but the screen is off... no signal going to the screen...)
The only way it to turn it off completely for 4 min or so, and then turn on again.

p.s. it's not only windows problem, because when i booted from USB to Acronis(to restore windows) it also freezed also - so i had to try several times to restore OS.
p.s2. when it's not freezing it working without any problems, sometimes can last all day... but sometimes it will freeze every min, and you have to reboot it... have no idea what is it... no changes were made in soft/driver or hardware.
 
Well my first question was going to be an OC, but you said no changes to hardware. My first thing would be have you updated to the latest bios? Also haveing some system specs would really help. Please list all your system specs out.
 
Then after you list out specs and verify bios/driver updates like the above poster asked, start getting temp measurements for us.
 
Update:
Was the power supply problem - replaced it, everything works great now.
Thanks for suggestions.
