Lots of freezes can certainly lead to lots of disk problems due to  
unclosed files and unflushed buffers and caches.

Freeze as in locks up (mouse and/or keyboard stop responding) or as  
in a translucent grey screen indicating a kernel crash? In either  
case this should happen rarely, something is definitely wrong with  
your computer. It's time to break out your hardware test CD. Also you
