My GoPro HD helmet Hero freezing while filming. It simply freezes up and the buttons don't work. I need to remove the battery to reset the camera and all my video is lost. I'm using a sandisk 32GB SD Card.

Unless the camera is actually in record mode, your previous video files should be complete on the SD card and should not be affected by removing the battery. The freezing COULD be a result of the SD card itself. Most live video recording devices which use media of this type work best with cards that are rated "Class 4" or higher. (Class refers to the read/write speed of the card; the higher the class, the faster it performs.) The class rating is usually shown inside a small circle printed on the card. A 32 GB card of Class 4 or higher is still pretty pricey, so if yours is only Class 2, the camera circuitry may be sending data to the card faster than it can handle it, thus locking it up. You might be better off with a smaller capacity card (16 or even 8 GB) that has a higher Class rating (4 or even 6). *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

My sdhc card shows a 'locked' icon when i put it into my gopro 2 recorder

SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Problem with gopro hd

It means that your computer has limited resources to play up to R3 only. R4 HD is heavier to process that is why your computer freezes.

R4 and R5 needs higher processor speed, ram and the video card. Check and make sure that the 3 of them are compatible with each other and has outstanding bench mark.

For computer maximum performance use processor that has GPU.

Go pro camera video not recording

Be sure to have fully charged batteries and format your SD card using the FAT format. Start by taking the batteries and SD card out, then reinserting after at least 30 second. Here's an unofficial GoPro user guide and tip sheet that I hope helps. Please only apply the GoPro firmware update to GoPro Hero Wide cameras - not the Hero 3 or standard lens models.
