Mass Effect 1 PS3 stuck on loading

Thankfully not to the degree you're having yet but mine is constantly freezing up during "loading" scenes. I get a sort of warning it's coming because the game starts to skip a couple of times and then the relay loading screen comes up for a new area and never actually loads/starts to freeze. For me, the restarts have worked, but I hope you have luck finding out how to bypass yours as well. It's annoying enough even when it does reset.
