Camera Error Message

I have had the Sony A230 for almost one month.  Suddenly after 4-5 pictures, I get CAMERA ERROR and the camera freezes.  Please tell me how to fix this.  Once I shut the camera off and turn it back on, it will repeat the same - 4-5 pictures are fine and then  it freezes and I get the camera error message.
