I was having the same issue with the PC freezing up if keyboard/mouse was not touched after 3 or so minutes. I was "waking" the system back up by toggling the NumLock key a couple of times. I finally went back into the BIOS and made a couple of changes in the Processor settings:
1) HyperThreading was on (no change made)
2) SpeedStep - not sure what this is, but I turned it on
3) Limit CPUID Value - Changed so that it was limited to 3
Since I have made these changes, I have not had any instances of freezing up.

Hope this helps, and Good Luck!
