Computer Freezing. Help!?
For almost a month now my computer has been freezing up randomly for about 5-30 seconds. Mostly this happens when I play games like Skyrim or any other games. 3 days ago, I replaced my GPU because it's gotten bad and needed replacing. the problem went away for a night but the next day it returns to pester me again. I also noticed that everytime I do an action with the pc the freeze happens. Like it's trying to process the files but it's slow and it freezes up and after some seconds it continues. This happens during I'm opening my inventory/equiping a weapon in skyrim, Playing sims, Loading a new spot in a game or just plain opening pictures in my pc. Then this morning while my brother was playing sims 3 my pc restarted. then I played B:AO it also restarted after a long freeze. What could this mean?
AMD Athlon II x2 260 3.20Ghz

Please and Thank you!

Yes you have low RAM and that might cause the system to access the virtual memory which is stored on your hard drive. Accessing the hard drive is much much slower than for RAM so it could be slowing your system down and causing the pauses.

Have you downloaded any Free movies/games (torrent/warez/pirated) or even visited dubious web sites.
Sounds more like a virus or malware kicked in, to me.
Even the best security software is playing catch-up with the evil's of the internet.
