check the disc(s) for scratches clean it with a sheet of toliet paper. if that doesn't work, go to your local game or electronic store to get it fix. if that still doesn't work, than I think you need a PS2, it better techology and you can play PS1 and PS2 games, CDs, and DVDs on it. I have a PS2 and it never froze. there a new skinny light PS2 that only cost $149.99.
