Defragment the drive on which your game is installed.

Also check your HDD/Power cables.

Do post your temperatures as well. Ideal temps should be :

CPU : Max 55c
GPU : Max 75c

Did you install anything new in the last 2-3 days?

Could be a bad power supply.

To check the temp of CPU, you can use Speedfan.

Hangs are also generally caused by bad quality ram. Also are you using official drivers? Did you overclock the gpu? There is an ideal autodetect overclock setting for nvidia cards... try that and see. Search for spyware also. Spybot S&D is the best.
