Windows randomly freezing

My computer started to randomly freeze a while ago, so I reformatted it. It's still freezing, however. I've tried reinstalling my motherboard drivers, but it still freezes... anyone have any idea why?

Comp. Specs:
nForce 3 chipset motherboard
windows XP (No serv. packs installed)
1 gig of RAM
 
When it freezes, how bad is it? Will ctrl+alt+delete work and if so are there any processes showing as not responding (apart from explorer.exe)?

When it freezes can you still move the mouse? If not, can you turn numlock on/off?
 
I'm not sure if I can still toggle numlock, but my mouse doesn't move, and I can't do ctrl+alt+delete.

I've downloaded a program (SpeedFan), and it's reading my core CPU as 39 C. Is that too high, or stable? I bought a really nice cooling fan (Zalman LED something or other) and put it on there, so if it's over heating I guess I put it on wrong.

As for the RAM, would it be bad RAM, or just overheating RAM? I mean, would I need to buy more?
 
39 C is deffinately not to hot, and I would say the ram is not over heating so if that is the problem u will need new ram.
