When the color change occurs, can you still see all the windows and text and everything on the screen, or does the color just wash over everything, so the color is the only thing showing?

If you can still see things, and it just changes to various shades of the color, that can be caused by the video card failing to send red, green, or blue signals to the monitor. If it only happens along with a freeze, I am reasonably certain that you have a bad motherboard and/or video card.

If you just got the computer and don't have much of your own data on there, you can try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling windows.
