Well, I'm back once again with computer problems.

It started about a few days ago, and when I was surfing Messenger Plus! I click on a link. Poof. Everything gets stuck. The clock doesnt tick. The toasts dont end. Things dont animate. Nothing gets saved (although my Firefoxie did same some, but not all the time). Then, I press my handy dandy restart button on my button (the turn off button doesnt work ), and everything is normal...until the whole scenario is repeated again.

Funny thing is, its always when I click on a link.

Windows Live OneCare is currently caring for my PC, and I'll see if I notice anything.

Does it only happen with Firefox..?

Well, Firefox is what I use, but it never has happened with Windows Explorer.

I just came back from a freeze. But this time, the computer just all of a suddenly goes black on me...now its time to start the Care Bear again...

Try creating a new profile in Firefox and see if this solves your problem:
Start -> Run -> firefox -profilemanager

As a part of this bump,

My computer hasnt froze yesterday or today, however, it is just turning off, as if there is a blackout.

And luckily, it was milliseconds after I uploaded My Bright Corner .

Its probably over heating, try running the PC without the case and see if that helps. And check your temps with speedfan.

I'd try what dazmo and phillip mentioned.
If that doesn't workout, maybe your PSU is getting dodgy :/

Also have you tried overclocking any of your hardware..? Setting things like the ram timings wrong could do this..

No, I'm not that pro to be setting up those things.

I got my PSU in September 2006. Perhaps its the Case that makes everything overheat? It the only thing that hasnt been replaced before

Try cleaning your mothercard up with a vacuum cleaner . It worked fine for me after that.

Something more realistic and doesnt require taking things apart?

And also...
It seems to happen FOR SURE when I play fullscreen. It has froze on me 3 times within the past 2 hours - twice playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. And the last one was not more than 5 minutes after start-up.
It happens at least once daily, and sometimes Firefox doesnt save my tabs, which is really annoying...
