Yes, that started happening to my old one and then I dropped it and that was the end of it.
My techie friend told me to always do the updates (which I used to ignore). That may not solve the problem of freezing but overall it's good for the tablet, or your computer etc.
Ps. My old one still works. The glass shattered so my son taped the whole thing. I may sell it on ebay for parts as someone can maybe install a new glass. I can't believe it still works!
