    I have a new M570TU and it keeps freezing in Windows 7 x64 Final. It happens randomly but I've noticed it happen everytime I copy a number of large files from my USB hard drive. It copies for about a few minutes then freezes solid.

    The CPU temp was reading 31oC when it froze the last time and the GPU was at 45oC.

    I'm running a Core 2 Duo P9700 with a 280M GPU with the latest nvidia drivers.

    Any ideas on what could be causing it?

    i once had the same problem as yours ... when I had mine ...

    i believe it had something to do with the cpu downclocking ...

    everytime the cpu down clocks to conserve power it freeze ...

    i am not sure if yours is the same problem ???

    in the end i returned mine and bought a d900f ... no problems since ...

    It might just be Windows 7. Have you tried to do the same with another OS?

    You could also try to install the latest motherboard version.

    Mine does an occasional freeze but I'm on Vista. Been like this since I bought it. Sent it in for repairs, but they couldn't replicate.
    It even freezes on bootup after the post, but before the Vista loading screen on occasion.
