No BSOD that you can recall before the re-install?

XP pro what service pack level? Did the install go smoothly or give you hassles? Installed the drivers in order? Motherboard ones first.

It could be a number of things yet, could just be a blown NIC, and from the previous install a virus, overheating, bad PSU, overclocking, motherboard slowly dying that caused the freezing.
