My computer has started randomly freezing for 5 sec while gaming. I just installed a bunch of stuff so im not sure what is it..
NV Silencer Rev3 for EVGA 7800 GT
Artic Freezer 64 for AMX X2 4400+
2x WD 250 GB SataII in raid 0, raid is not boot drive

Rest of rig
Mobo Asus-SLI-Premium
Antec 550W psu
2x1 GB GSkill Ram
No Overclocking
CPU 46 in BF2
GPU 65 in BF2
 
I was thinking heat issue until I saw the Artic Freezer. How are the temps on your video card. I would also check your PSU to see what it is doing under a gaming load. Have you checked the RAM?

Edit: I'll run memtest overnight and post results.

Edit2:How do I check what my psu is doing? What does that mean?

Edit3: I ran memtest overnight. After 12 passes it found 1 error. Is this acceptable?
 
It shouldn't have errors at all.

Checking PSU: what kind do you have? are the temperatures under control? is it getting enough air? etc etc.
 
CPU is running at 46 C, GPU is 65 C after playing BF2 for an hr. PSU=Antec TruePower 550W
EDIT: HD failed smart test. RMAing it.
