Hi Scoots,
I'm sorry to hear your camera is freezing. If it is freezing to the point where the display doesn't turn off when you flip the power switch the camera most likely needs to be serviced.
Before sending it in it would be good to check a couple of things. The first is to load a different battery in the camera. Sometimes if the battery is malfunctioning it can cause freezing like this. The next thing is to try loading a different memory card in the camera. Sometimes if a card is corrupted it can cause this kind of issue. If the issue continues next try a different HDMI cable, and finally if the same thing is happening try connecting the camera to a different HDMI device to see if the freezing keeps happening. Sometimes if the cable is degraded or if there is an issue with the first HDMI device you were trying they can cause freezing.
If the freezing keeps happening after checking each of those things at that point we would recommend sending the camera in for service.
