By "screen freeze" you mean mouse and keyboard are unresponsive.
If its so, it could be hardware related.
Which means you would have to reseat/check the ram or graphics card.
If you have windows installed, run it.
Are you overclocking cpu?
I hope you have enough watts on your PSU.

Assuming you are using 3.5....
open terminal --- ctrl+ alt+t
run:
- Code: Select all
compiz --replace
or
- Code: Select all
metacity --replace
I assume you have installed Radeon drivers already.
