But the pc freezes even when cold. My old pc had on average much higher temperatures, than this one, without anything like this happening.
But I guess, different hardware, different herpaderps.

You have a GeForce so I'd start by looking for and installing Omega Drivers for GeForce and see if it solve your problem. Most of their "up to date" drivers really suck, this could help a lot.
I'll try out the Omega Drivers.

Speaking of drivers. I am a bit nervous about updating my BIOS, I don't know if its up to date. I don't even know how its done. And i've heard some grim tales of updating BIOS on Windows7.
