Hello,
Yes, it sounds like when the drive was replaced, the proper sensor wasn't installed, or possible other sensors weren't reconnected. Because of this, the fans will spin up to protect the internals. The freezing issue does sound like a thermal issue, and will probably require some form of hardware repair/adjustment to permanently correct it. The fan control applications aren't a permanent substitute for proper hardware repairs, and other internal components can be damaged if the Apple-designed cooling system of sensors/fans isn't work to spec.
It could also be a sign of something else failing, since it was working for the previous six months. I don't know of any other software fix that I would recommend.
