Narrative:
FMGC 1 froze and we could not update SID. While trying to use mcdu 1 it froze for FMGC inputs. Tried mcdu 2 -- it all froze for inputs. When we got to snora aircraft went to heading mode and we overshot our turn. ZOA gave us a vector to correct. We told ATC we needed vectors for a visual approach into sfo. They gave us vectors to visual runway 28R. We landed without incident. Maintenance reset and fixed aircraft at the gate.
