    Well I know what you all are thinking....me installing W7 64bit. Well I was having a lot of problems with W7 32bit. Internet explorer was crashing, freezing up. I was getting high memory use warning all the time and it was over heating to the point that I could not sit it on my lap. I installed W7 32bit again with all the updates and the next day it was the same again. So I said why not try W7 64bit. so I upgraded the memory and ran the 64bit recovery disk. It's been running a full day now with no problems at all and no over heating.
    So anyone got any idea's why this....

    You broke it? Geez, we can't have nothing nice around here. o_O :D


    Best bet would be to put the task manager progam (the name I can't remember) and see what process is making the CPU run full blast. Any why in the world are you using IE? :eek:

    Well that is about the only thing that M$ made right...for me anyways. I do use Firefox to. I use Opera mini on my Note2. I been using my 19 all afternoon on the front deck , about 4+ hours on one battery and just took it in to charge it. It's at 19% battery so I bet I could of got 5+ hours on it. Never had a problem once. No over heating at all and it's fast.

    When I got it 1 1/2 years ago the first thing I did was run the recovery disk. Everything went very smooth and all the drivers were installed and nothing messed up in Device Manager. Not sure what happen but W7 64bit is running great.
