GTA 5 Freezing PS3

Hello,

I've been experiencing freezing of GTA V since around July-ish. The first freeze occured when I was pulling into LS Customs by the airport, and it seems to be everywhere I saved, it'll freeze there. I didn't buy GTA V for it to freeze like this! (Please don't suggest buying an XBOX/ PS4.) Now the freezing happens every time I play GTA 5. Sometimes I'll get 5 minutes of gameplay, sometimes I'll get 30 minutes of gameplay. When it's about to freeze, the minimap is all blurry, the characters' phones won't work, and the menus won't load either. Other times, there will be an initial freeze, then it will go back to normal, then it will freeze completely!

Please Help.

Thanks !

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
