Or maybe you need to clean it with system restore off.

On a side note, 6 svchosts isn't unusual, I have 6 now, and I'm clean as a whistle.  The random freezes could be caused but a lot things..

 Unless this one is not what you have, your card is not DX10 compatible. Running a DX10 driver would cause issues like you are having. or worse.

Well then that is one problem at least. Get rid of the DX10 stuff, you don't need it.

 Start here look for the latest driver.  These usually work very well.

 Is it the  "Pro "   ,  XT , or the Pro AGP ?

 Look for the ATI drivers here
