My Nexus 7 also froze a few times in really harsh ways I haven't seen before with other Android devices. Sometimes it displayed weird patterns on screen. Most of the time it simply did not respond at all. At one point I also believed it was bricked because the screen was black and I kept on pressing the power button to no avail. It simply did not want to reboot. It got much better after the latest firmware updates so I can only assume it was a software problem.
