PC Locking Up

Having a problem with my home PC. Currently running on :
 
Processor : P4 3.0 GHz 800M LGA775 530J
Video Card: Gigabyte NVIDIA 6800 128M
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-8IPE775-G 865PE
RAM: GIGARAM 64X64 PC3200 512MB DDR
HD: Western Digital 40GB|WD400JD 7200RPM SATA
CDRW: SONY CRX320E
KB/MOUSE (Wireless): KB Rosewill Combo RKM800BLK (Driver not installed/not needed)
 
The problem I am having is spontaneous, every once in a while my computer will sieze, becoming unresponsive to
keyboard  and mouse movements. Temperatures are fine, as long as the monitor has not gone into standby
there is still video. The cable modem still shows PC activity (PC Activity light still blinks) however does not
pass traffic or get IP information (Called cable company from work, able to see modem but not seeing IP information)
The network card (onboard) had drivers not verified by microsoft, and if I remember correctly the sound card (onboard)
also had unverified drivers.

What software or drivers did you recently install?  Intermittent lockups can also be spyware or viruses - check in task manager for the process that is at 100%.

do you have any GSM or other kind of high-frequency steaming devices near the wireless desktop,,,there could be and interferating effect of all theese devices,,,
i personally have a microsoft wireless intellimouse explorer and if my Nokia 6310i is near the mouse(radius 50~60cm) i can't use the mouse,it's hanging,,,just remove all other devices which are wireless and which are not urjent to be seated near your pc,,,
do you have also a wireless network card on your pc?
