    I have windows 7 pro (64-bit) installed on my dv2. I'm having an occasional problem of Windows freezing and having to do a hard reboot. Happened a couple of times when I plugged in my usb mouse, once when I plugged the cable into the ethernet port and twice when I turned on the wireless switch.

    Usually the busy cursor would start spinning, freezes and the cursor wouldn't move anymore.

    Anyone else having similar problems? :confused:

    I myself have not heard of anything similar, and I use several USB, firewire and wireless devices on my equipment. Possible to let it sit frozen for a short time to see if win 7 times out or gives you an error? Or something when turned back on in terms of an error as to why?
