I just purchased this new computer and the specs are below. After a few minutes of booting up, the screen completely freezes and the computer completely locks up. Why is it doing this? or any suggestions from people that have had this problem?

Windows x64 edition is still unstable and we don't recommend it for users. not only that drivers are not in abundance and so downgrading to 32bit will be better for now.
If this a newly purchased computer from a proper 'dealership' I would take it back and will not mess with any aspect of it. You do not want to void any warranties you have. Even if it was bought from an independent system builder, if it is that new (and probably cost a bit), he/she should cover these sort of teething problems. I would go back to them first.
