Sounds as though you have a hardware/driver conflict! When you say freeze - how long are you waiting before deciding its froze?
To determine if it is hardware/driver conflict then boot into "safe mode". If Windows loads in safe mode without freezing, etc then this would point towards a hardware(IRQ) clash and/or driver related clashes.
See this thread for help booting into safe mode.0
