I had this problem: The first power supply I got for my Sidstation was a 
variable-voltage type. One day I turned on the SS with the voltage at the 
wrong setting. It must have put some impossible settings into the preset 
memory, because (after I fixed the voltage and rebooted it) when I tried to 
go to the patches, the machine would lock up (just like yours). 

I cleared this up by going to the system menu->Mem->Reset/Erase. I had no 
patches after that, but it booted up again ok, and I could restore patches 
from a SysEx patch dump. I am running OS 1.10 R33.
