    Anyone else having this problem. This is my second M17x, i returned and reordered a new one and it has the same problems! When i click on a program, itunes for example it thinks for a second then stops, and nothing happens . Then if i open other programs such as internet explorer it stops responding after a minute. When i click restart it says force shutdown on background programs and then shutsdown which means they were running in the background i guess.

    I also have the fan purr problem in the back right which came with my first one. This second didnt have the problem until 4 days later and this is the same time programs are not responding. Alienrespawn does not fix the problem as well. Any ideas?
