Yes this exact thing happened with my Sony Reader where there was indeed a corrupted file. I actually ended up deleting the file in frustration (not recommending you do this but I really thought the device was totally dead anyway) and I did get it to work again - before selling it not long after because the constant crashes did my head in. At least Amazon are working on a fix for the restarts and freezes etc.

Anyway I hope you get the problem resolved quickly.
