Hi,

Is the latest patch installed?
Have you tried reinstalling the game?
Are all your hardware drivers up to date?

Does that mean no error message when it freezes or no error messages in the event logs?

They don't appear to be related to the hang.

Please download and run SysSpec. Run the file > click on the system button > click edit > click copy to clipboard and then paste it with your reply.
