E-M5s sometimes had problems w lockup, or not waking from sleep, w the early FW. If you haven't done so, update to the latest FW.

If running current FW, it could well be a fault in the camera and require a trip to service.

Is it easily repeated or sporadic? It ill be easier to get it fixed if it happens regularly, but if it happens less frequently, service might not find the problem.

recommended or not, I regularly hot swap lenses on my E-M5 w/o issue... this should not cause the camera to lock up.

It's the latest firmware from January. I have also had it not return from sleep, even though I have power off set to 1 hour. The lockups do seem to be sporadic, but I will be more vigilant next time it occurs.

Thanks.
