Freezing During Music/Movies

I'm not sure why, but when I use Winamp to listen to music or watch videos on YouTube I am freezing very, very often which causes me to have to hard boot my computer. It's really inconvenient and I don't know what is causing it. I have uses Driver Magician to be sure my audio/display drivers are up to date and I have went through and performed manual updates.

If anyone could assist me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is a rundown of my system: Report of <CRAIG>

Hi and welcome to TechIMO.
First off I'd say run a Malware/Spyware/Virus scan, and make sure everything is up to par.
I'd suggest a mix of Malware Bytes and Trend Micro.
After that, if those show nothing, then I'd suggest downloading, burn, and run Memtest86, and see if that shows anything. Lots of times hard lock is memory related, or a possible GPU driver conflict.

See what those show and report back.
