Have you tried reseating your RAM? "Freezing" is such a broad term that it could be a whole mess of different issues, but if it freezes when it's not under load, it could be a memory issue. I would try that (and even try different sticks, if you have some laying around or a friend who's feeling generous). Otherwise, download Core Temp or some other similar temperature monitoring to see if your unit might be overheating. If you just upgraded the CPU, you might be having heat issues.
