My computer keeps freezing,

I am pretty sure it's not software related, I have ran virus scans, (AntiVir, Microsoft AntiSpyware, CWShredder, Spybot S&D, and Lavasoft Ad-Aware + VX2 Plugin.), and I have AntiVirus prevention programs running too (SpywareBlaster, AnalogX Cookiewall and Script Defender, Spybot TeaTimer, Microsoft AntiSpyware, Kerio Personal Firewall, AntiVir Guard). All of theese have been updated and everything, and I also run windows update, yet for some reason, it randomly freezes completely, and needs unplugged. Here are my specs, do any of you see anything that might be causing this?

Athlon 3200+ Winchester nonoverclocked, 40C idle, noideahowhotC load from the bios. (I think it's a bit toasty, could that be the prob?)

Seasonic 380W PSU. (should be enough power I think)

MSI RS480M2-IL Mobo, 39C idle, noideahowhotC load from the bios. (this seems exceptionally hot too, I think I might need a new case with better airflow?)

Geforce 6600GT on Zalman VF-700Cu, 43C idle, 50C load. nonoverclocked.

el-cheapo E-Machines case, mATX, two 5.25" drive bays, etc. (this might be the problem, although I'm still not sure)

Well if you need any more info just LMK. What could be causing this?
 
I don't get anything when it freezes. The mouse will be moving, and everything will be fine, then the mouse arrow will move, but it won't click on anything, and then the mouse will stop moving, and it'll sit like that as long as I let it.

I'll run memtest.
 
have you tried a fresh windows install? and is it completely random or are you using like 100% cpu everytime the thing freezes? also check the temperature under load by installing motherboard monitor or some other program. shouldnt exceed 55C under load
 
* Is it locking on the same apps?

- Disconnect from internet... MSCONFIG... Remove everything from Startup...
 
It doesn't lock on different apps, it just locks. It could be doing nothing and it'll just lock, or it could be while I'm running add remove programs, or it could be while i'm playing a game. It's all random.

That's not near long enough. 12-24hrs. 24hrs if you wanna be sure.
