There are many other conditions that would cause your system to freeze, you would have to follow a process of elimination B4 you put the blame on bad sectors. I would bet that your problem IS NOT bad sectors.
There are three things that tend to cause freezing up like that: temperature, device drivers, or bad memory
If your temp is fine, I would guess it is either a device driver, or some bad memory, or a bad motherboard.
Ive seen many instances where mixing of RAMs of different brands and modules that cause many instablity problems. The best way to go esp if youre on a DDR platform (DDR are more sensitive) is to use only the best quality RAMs that you can get with CAS2 ratings.
These are the most common causes, but are certainly not the complete list. First, strip your box of everything that is not needed (leave only system drive and vidcard) and leave only the minumum ram (if it still freezes, try a different stick of ram making sure to set the first one aside). Let us know.
Also boot into safe mode and see if you can duplicate the freeze. Follow the logical process of elimination here?
