Good evening Kiti and welcome to CH
OK from what I am able to interpret the PC is a desktop and now has windows 7 am I safe to assume that it maybe had XP? but to help you any further we would need some more info because what is in the post is not enough.
Sorry was getting more information when I had to take kid to the dentist. I just honestly wasn't sure where to start. It had XP on it at one point not sure if it was before or after the switched out all the hardware though. It's not showing a previous version under the C drive properties, though I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.
The PC can be freezing from many different reasons this can be a hardware issue or software issue.
#1... What version of windows 7 32 or 64 bit?
32 bit Home Premium Service Pack 1
#2... If the desktop was overhauled what is the motherboard model most after market MoBo's will have the numbers silk screened around the CPU or the PCI slots (i.e ms-7301 or 845PERL etc)
all i know about the motherboard is that it's an asus M4N68T-M, I'm happy to get more details but I can't find what I'm looking for I have all kinds of windows open regarding hardware properties and performance, but nothing shows specifically. At least to my what I'm beginning to understand as *completely forgotten everything I ever knew about computers eyes.* So if you have direction that it would be great.
#3... What model is / was the desktop (i.e Dell C521 or was it always a custom built PC)
It was an HP Pavillion 700 up until 3 years ago but it's been given a total new set of guts.
#4... If the whole PC was redone inside do you or what errors have you gotten or BSOD (blue screens of death)
That's the thing I have not seen thus far anything beyond what I've described above. I've only been told about the problems 3rd hand because my mom lives 300 miles away and i got this computer 3 days ago. I wanted to try and get a head start on figuring things out so that I wouldn't make them worse, but I don't get any errors other than the frozen keyboard and mouse (USB both) and the choose your operating system screen that appeared randomly the one time.
And the Keyboard and mouse don't appear to freeze up if the computer is active only when it is in sleep mode for extended periods of time.
#5... Is the keyboard and mouse original / old ones before the PC was redone. If the keyboard is freezing did you try another keyboard I have seen a mouse or keyboard make a PC freeze.
Different mouses and keyboards have been used but I bought brand new ones when I brought this home because she kept the old ones for her new computer. The problems existed with her old ones, and these newer ones. I did buy them second hand and the keyboard I have was supposed to come with drivers, and didn't I was able to contact the manufacturer and had the drivers sent to me so that I could download them.
Though I did just restart the computer to get the motherboard information I provided and a keyboard error popped up saying load dll failure, so that's completely new, but I just installed the drivers for this keyboard a couple of hours ago.
It's a V7 KN0B1 which they don't even have listed on their website anymore, I had to have the tech center send me the drivers in an email.
So if at all possible please let us know what parts were replaced.
Motherboard, Memory (how much was installed), Hard Drive, CD Drive, CPU (central processing unit) (i.e Intel Duel core 2.2 etc)
If you can bare with me I will go over the specs in the device manager now. I was told it's all new but I don't know enough about it to differentiate b/w the old and the new if that's not accurate.
And I don't currently have the casing opened up right now, and probably won't do it till tomorrow morning, it's to late now but maybe this will give you a starting point.

If that is WAY to much info or the wrong info I apologize. It's been a long, time since I have done anything like this and windows has change more than I ever thought.
If you cant get into windows even in safe mode can you get into the BIOS? most aftermarket motherboards you would use the "del" key to get into it while you are booting the PC. When you are in there you will find a lot of the info out. That will be listed in system information or something similar.
Not sure it's 1:30 am here so I will Def check that out first thing tomorrow.
Thank you for being so helpful and trying to help me. I know that I am completely lost, and probably WAY over my head, thank you for trying to help me as I stumble blindly through this.
