You will probably have to do a Ubuntu reinstall.

[Cew27]

sounds like grub is corrupt, re-install grub using this link
thats the great thing with linux, you hardly ever have to do a fresh install as everything is fixable

[notrace]

yes, a faulty install could cause corrupt files therefore freezing. Reinstalling could stop the problem, a fresh install usually does work but be sure to post back if all else fails.
