Strange computer freeze

I've been having an issue with my computer recently where it decides it wants to freeze and I'm only able to recover via hard reboot. Most of the time this happens while I'm away and not using the computer. So when I come back and try moving the mouse there is no response, same for the keyboard, I can't even toggle caps lock. It's strange because I don't get a BOSD nor can I operate anything within the system when this happens. I've only had this happen to me about twice while physically using the system, most the most recent time that it happened I was scrolling down the comments section on a youtube video so I'm not sure what caused it. Any suggestions on what might be causing it would be great.. not overly worried since I'm upgrading to a new PC soon. However I'd like to turn this one into a media center or something along those lines and would like to clear up the issue.
