For the past few months my computer has been freezing up fairly frequently, once or twice a day usually. It generally happens a few minutes after I boot it up, but I've had a few freezes after it's been on for hours. The odd thing is that it rarely happens while I'm in the middle of something (playing a game for instance) so it's hardly an inconvenience at all. The question is mostly academic as I hope to replace it within a few months, and it's a Gateway with an extremely screwed up internal layout so I won't really be able to salvage any of the parts with the possible exception of the hard drive.
What could it be?

Also, the bios might have a hard drive checking option as well.
