Screen lockups

I have a persistent problem with the screen freezing necessitating a reboot.
It can happen randomly when I'm doing anything, but most obvious when I try
and start games/ applications. These just hang. I have run out of ideas what
it could be. I have reformatted hard drive 3 times to try and fix this, but
problem occurs with only OS, motherboard Nvidia nforce 4 drivers and graphics
drivers installed. I've updated all drivers, graphics, motherboard as well
as Bios. I've replaced the power supply and hard drive is also new. CPU is
not overheating. Could it be a flacky electical connection in the case, or
faulty optical mouse?
Does anyone have any ideas/ suggestions to help? This is driving me crazy!

AMD 64 3200 Venice
K8N Neo4 F MoBo
Gecube ATi X800XL 256 video
2 X Corsair 512 RAM
450 watt power supply
Win XP SP2

Thanks...should read headers more carefully. Thought it was for 64bit
processor.
