well most likely your cpu is not freezing it is more likely a problem with windows itself like you have a lot of junk files taking up memory either that or you dont have enough system memory to run the game for long periods of time.

Yep, sounds like a memory issue... you could try defragging if you haven't in awhile. But, your best bet to solve this problem would be memory.

How is the temp and airflow in your case? I had the same problem when my CPU was overheating. You can easily test this by opening your case and placing a house fan to blow directly on the motherboard. If your performance increases look into adding additional fans.
