I have a pretty good gaming rig (a64 3700+, 1GB RAM, 7800GT) and it has always worked perfectly. Then all of a sudden this afternoon I was playing WoW and the FPS drops to 1 FPS! Thought I might have a cooling problem but all the CPU, Case, and GFX temps are perfectly fine. I started to defrag my comp, and then my PC locked up! For the last 3 hours I havent been able to use my PC for more than 10 min tops without freezing! (I am writing this on another comp BTW).

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY PC! PLEASE HELP ME!
 
Boot in safe mode and try to run a virus scan to start.
 
It wouldn't hurt to visually inspect the unit either. Check for any fans not spinning, dust, etc.
