PC Keeps Freezing??????

Question

I asked the question below a few days ago and tried everything suggested but not worked. After some other investigations on other websites, somebody else had the same problem as me and found I have now found out that if I run Windows in 'Safe Mode' is has been so far so good. Therefore, if I leave my pc running all night, and it is still working in the morning (usually the whole pc freezes within this time) what can I do to resolve the problem as Safe Mode is not ideal. Thanks.

My mouse, keyboard and whole system keeps freezing. Sometimes can run all day fine, but other times like this morning, it has froze 3 times within half hour. When this happens, the clock freezes so the only way I can reset is by turning off at the wall, as ctrl alt & delete does not bring up the task manager. I have tried all sorts of programs ie: advanced windows care, ccleaner, antispyware etc but not working. I have also hoovered out all the inside of the box, but still not working. I am after some new ideas if possible, before the only thing is to buy a new one....... (does not freeze if we are working on it, only when nobody is using it, and I have checked the power settings in the control panel which 'never' turn off any power supply

This sounds like it could be a driver problem. If you check in device manager and see if anything is showing errors ( right click on my computer > properties > Hardware tab > device manager )
