Main menu freezes after start

I was just playing the game and I took a break I turned my PS3 back on press play. Game loads normally but when it gets to the part to press start there is no music so I press start no menu comes up, I wait. It freezes and locks up my PS3. So I reinstalled the game still does the same thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the disk, no scratches on bottom or top of the disk and it still wont work /:

    Hi sirsmith148,

    I'm not sure if reinstalling the game has an effect of the Game Data Utility folder but corrupted files on PS3 are often the reason why a game suddenly starts freezing so you may try the following:

    1. While in the Playstation 3 Cross-Menu Bar (XMB) navigate to the ‘Game’ section.
    2. Scroll through this section until you find a folder called ‘Game Data Utility’
    3. Open the folder to populate the Game Data list
    4. Scroll though the Game Data list until you find Dragon Age: Origins.
    5. With the game entry you need highlighted, press the Triangle button
    6. An options menu associated with the game you have highlighted will appear on the right hand side of the menu.
    7. Select ‘Delete’ and press X to confirm.
    8. Once it's done, turn off and on your console.

    Hope that helps,

    Eve
