Thanks Jym, I've looked in the Event Viewer and there's nothing obviously wrong, apart from this warning which come up a few times a day but not coincidental with the freezes:
"Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address 820B18DAF1C9. The IP address being used is 169.254.236.107."
I don't think it's relavent, is it?
