Is there disk activity during that time? Run task manager, sort by CPU
usage and see what's happening during the freeze (if task manager
updates during that time...)
Have you installed the necessary drivers for the motherboard, chipset,
and additional hardware as appropriate?
If it's a new computer that you've purchased, you might get help from
the manufacturer as well.
Please follow-up.

Usually if the disk was crazy busy, you would hear it. If you can't
hear it, it's probably not a problem (or you've got a really silent
drive - don't change it :)
Well, if you installed Windows XP yourself from CD, and didn't install
the manufacturer's drivers for the motherboard, chipset, graphics card,
etc. you should do it.
That's a bad attitude from them. If it's within your 30-day return
period, just tell them you want to return it, and maybe they'll change
their tune.
Seriously. It seems like a driver issue to me. Please post some
details on your machine make, model, CPU, disk, RAM and graphics card.
Windows version, updates installed, etc.

Start by looking at the Device Manager. Are there any exclamation marks
on any devices indicating that there's a problem? Even if not, check
each component (first check the MESH PC manufacturer's web site, then
ASUS motherboard, NVIDIA drivers, etc.). Install the correct and latest
drivers for your machine.
Other suggestions have already been made - virus checking, spyware
checking, etc. I'm assuming you're also proceeding with that, as that
may be your problem too.
