My zen freezes regularly and needs rebooting

It's from the firmware, I've had the same problem and I've gotten the white screen of death. Any suggestions? The power light turns blue but the screen is either black or white, it won't turn off unless I click the reset and then won't turn on until 10+ tries of doing the hold down power button, click reset while plugged in PC thing.

Creative Zen Firmware Problem

Update all the drivers on your computer. Every device should be completely up to date. After this, look for updates to your BIOS.
Note: This is very dangerous. Updating your BIOS may result in damage to your computer. A BIOS is a code the motherboard uses to boot up and run the system by, and by changing this the motherboard may be confused and not work properly. Please use caution when attempting to update your BIOS, and don't hold me or the site responsable if your computer breaks.
So updating your BIOS could fix the problem, as that's the base of the firmware. I can't think of anything else that's productive
