Hard to tell without more detailed info (what does work? If anything?) But, let's say you have a bad area of your hard drive. Things will work fine until the computer tries to read or write something to it. Or maybe some of your files are just corrupted. Again, you're fine till it tries to use one of those files. Bad memory might cause symptoms like that too.. I had a bad memory card in a server once, but it wouldn't freeze up until there was enough stuff running to use a lot of memory and make it try to use the "bad" part.
