Firstly, you should do research in Windows XP event viewer and analyze error data. Then you should use diagnostic tools (like MemTest) to test RAM on your computer. Then check if processor, motherboard, VGA temperature is not too high (you can find many free and commercial software to do that).

It does make a difference when you're screen is freezing up. Is when you're booting up? It could be as simple as tweaking your computer's start-up process, or you might have to reinstall Windows. It really depends.
