    Those heat results are relatively normal. You can undervolt your Z71V, Centrinos can take quite a bit.

    I don't know about any of those issues? Have you tried pulling out the optical drive and reconnecting it? - maybe its a minor connectivity issue?
    I do know that I can't quick swap my optical drive for my modular battery anymore; whenever I do, my whole system locks up. So that might have something to do with it? If you fix your optical drive, maybe you can run a full reformat of your HD and install a new Windows?
