New build freezes all the time
The PSU is from THRUST and its like 4 years old.
Its this one: http://www.trust.com/en/all-products/14461-450w-hightech-psu-silent-big-fan-pw5770
That would be my first suspect. Hell, I can't even find a spec sheet on it. Their own product page doesn't have any specs on it that would be useful.
PSU's can cause these kinds of problems. Especially if it's one based on an old project that has been reworked with modern connectors which is a common practice on cheap PSU's. You end up with high amps on the 3 and 5 volt rails and low amps on the 12 volt rails because that's what old PC's needed back in the day. These will have trouble running modern PC's that rely more on 12v rails. Considering you've upgraded your CPU to a more power hungry one that may very well be the culprit. I would replace it with something reliable of a good brand name at either rate.
