A fairly good diagnostic is to run the full five-stage chkdsk. You will find that this probably gets stuck and never completes; or at least takes many many hours.
Insist that Dell replace the hard drive with a new one.

I've always found Seagate Tools to be the easiest to use and the most comprehensive. They've always been spot on for me.

Its very rare to get software problems causing a full system lockup. Really the dell tech should have tested both before the mainboard was replaced. Faulty CPU can also causing freezing. Prime95 is good for checking system reliability, it loads the cpu 100% and can also stress the ram in the windows environment.
I have had wireless cards being at fault causing full system hang aswell. Easy way I diagnose that is disable the wlan and run it on ethernet, if it still locks up its not the wlan.
