Had this with an AMD2000+. I also thought it was the CPU-cooler, but it
turned out to be the powersupply with a very slow going fan. The PS was
getting much hotter than usual and this one froze everything, also because
of this there was no airflow through the case. When this happened, CPU
temp reached about 50C - 55C, getting me into changing the cooler after a
while. Problems came back, but after changing the PS, CPU stays at 40-45,
no freezes anymore.
