    Hi Swift, have you solved the lock up problem? My order on G72GX in BB is ready for me to pick up but I dont like to risk having a problematic nb after reading your thread. Thanks

    So far yes i did a full wipe out with my own copy of windows 7 and loaded only drivers and no software and they have a Bios update now seems to be running fine if it does it again i will be taking it back.

    Thank you for the input, Swift. I am wondering whether the bios update alone can solve the problem or not cuz apparently I don't have an additonal copy of win7. Or if you can pinpoint the application which seemed to be the culprit it would very much be appreciated.
