Hard Resets - Quiet before the Storm

[Redbeast39]

Recently I upgraded my Storm 1 with the 5.0 software.  I like the improvements that came with the upgrade.  But since the upgrade, when I charge my phone it locks up.  Sometimes if I don't check on my phone periodically, it freezes and the battery stops charging.  Also sometimes when I receive a message and the phone is charging it freezes.  When either problem occurs the only solution is removing the battery and replacing it.  I was hoping someone could tell me how to avoid the freeze-ups or a better way to fix the problem without the hard resets.
