Nexus 7 2013 Freeze during gameplay

[humstonD2016]

My son has had the freeze in Google logo issue off and on for some time and the tap on the back trick works. But now it's started locking up after startup on the 'swipe to unlock" screen, which requires a soft reset (power button for 10sec). How it's started freezing while he's playing games. He's only 8 so it's really upsetting, especially since we can't really afford a new tablet at this time, because I would want to buy another good one. Is there any way to get his tablet to stop freezing? I am not a "techie" but with instructions I could handle whatever I need to do. Please help! TIA!!

The first thing to try is a cache partition wipe, which won't erase any personal data: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...e-nexus-7-2012-2013-cache-partition-wipe.html

If that doesn't help, then you may want to consider a factory reset.
