It's the Task Manager, you can run it by right clicking on your TaskBar
and selecting 'Task Manager' from the menu that pops up.

You can also see it by pressing Ctl+Alt+Delete as you did when your PC
froze.

Ctrl/Alt/Del
the specific graphs you mentioned will be shown on the performance tab
 
Hi, Kevin.

As Jeff says, just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete again and the Task Manager window
should pop up. Then click on each of the tabs (Applications, Processes,
Performance, Networking, Users) to see what each displays. You probably are
looking for Performance. You can customize this to some degree; check the
Help file.

When Task Manager pops up, it shows the same tab as when you closed it last.
If you double-click on the borders of the window, some of the labels
disappear; just double-click on the border again to get them back.

Another way to open the Task Manager is to right-click on an empty area of
the Taskbar and choose Task Manager from the pop-up menu.
