When you have a system freeze, tap the Caps Lock key a few times. If the CapsLock light does not turn on or off, you can't type anything with the keyboard usually, the computer itself has crashed...
If nothing move and mouse is frozen too of course.
The problem seems to be hardware at first glance. Can you check in the BIOS for the powersupply voltages (3v,5v,12v,etc.)? Then check temperatures either in BIOS or Linux.
Also, if you can open the computer physically and check if some capacitors or "bumped" and/or have leaked.
This is mainly for PC's and not laptops though.
I also saw electrical troubles leading to this kind of problem. An AC, Toaster, Heater or Microwave on same electrical circuit for exemple.
Software wise, maybe trying to use the computer off a live USB Linux for a day?
Good luck and Merrrry Chrrristmas!
