Download Speedfan (The download link is to the right), and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here the information it shows. The information I want you to post is the stuff that is circled in the example picture I have attached.
To make sure we are getting all the correct information it would help us if you were to attach a screenshot like the one below of your Speedfan results.
To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as

Core Temperature seems high but we'll look at that more in a bit.
Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:
+ Aim6
+ MsnMsgr
The next entry has to be disabled manually. It is needed only if you use multi language on the keyboard.
To turn off just ctfmon.exe go to:
Control Panel then to Regional and Language Options
Click on the Languages Tab then click the Details button
Click on the Advanced tab
Check the box that says Turn off advanced text services option
Click A and then OK
When done restart computer and then:
Download Temp File Cleaner (TFC)
Double click on TFC.exe to run the program.
Click on Start button to begin cleaning process.
TFC will close all running programs, and it may ask you to restart computer.
Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:
It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged

Your core temperature is definitely too high at 64C. Is it while computer idles?
Provide processor info (hold Windows logo key, and hit Pause/Break key to find out).

Well I do know for sure that the fan inside the power supply area is broken.. so I'm thinkin that could be why it freezes.. but not 100 percent sure

Well, here you have your reason. Replace it. 5 bucks.Well I do know for sure that the fan inside the power supply area is broken

I agree with Broni
Replace the CPU fan and your problem will most likely resolve itself.
Heat is the number one issue of slowing a system down or freezing in your case.
