7600RPM, that's the problem. Mine is 7200 that's normal, so I think that's causing the heating. Your hard drive is spinning too much, so this is causing your computer to freeze. You probably want to get a hard drive with normal speed like 7200RPM, the higher the number of you hard drive is, the more it heats / spins
Note: I'm not a hard-core gamer, but I pretty much know about this type of problems
