I have a 540 since it was released.
Past couple of journeys it's been freezing - the power button powers it down and back on again.
It's just really annoying, because I can be driving along and it will freeze and I could just drive straight past my exit without realising.
Luckily I haven't missed anything yet.
It seems really random, I can't see any pattern. |

Are you chaps just powering the device down or actually resetting it via the power button, you should hold the on/ off button down until the device re-boots with the drum roll - Mike |

A few things I have noticed that cause the Go to freeze:
Bluetooth connection locks up, although this often causes it to reboot. This may be my phone causing the problems as it happens with other devices, but the Go cannot cope.
A corrupted POI file, when the POI comes in range, the device locks up.
When it gets a massive traffic download it appears to freeze for up to ten seconds whilst it processes the data but then starts working again. |

I'm just putting it to sleep I think.
I haven't noticed any pattern whatsoever - I just know I panic like crap when I'm trying to restart it as the exit passes :D
