    The answer is MAYBE.
    Sometimes a complete rebuild does indeed resolve freezing problems, assuming it's NOT hardware related.

    That's hard to say. I got my computer last year in July, and it is a vista.

    It can be virus problem or sometimes hardware problem also make the system freeze so, check the hardware devices properly and scan your computer with effective anti virus.
    Bad virus make the system freeze. So, instead of installing windows scan your computer with windows defender online and that is free.
