Hi Win 7 users.
Questions please; not sure if this has been asked in a previous life....
Is there a problem with the Windows 7 software and the i7 chip?
Does it make it work too hard and overheat?
I ask because I have a Tosh i7 A660 Satellite with Ultimate Windows 7 and Office 2007 32-bit (English) on a Japanese laptop. Live in Japan.
The only other software now is Google chrome (updated) and Norton 2011 (Updated)
Four months old and already had a new hard-drive on warranty.
Had to pull the power and battery out as frozen solid and Ctrl, Alt, Del doesnt work.
The laptop freezes up randomly during surfing interweb or in media player or anything really.
It usually happens ten times or so in a row; so I shut it off and later it works again.
Ran a thread here recently

But thought this hardware forum might be useful to track down any options.
Many thanks if any good ideas emerge.
Hammer suggestions notwithstanding.
