Bought new in August, Windows 7, 64-bit system. Hardly a day goes by that the computer doesn't completely freeze. Not even the nicety of the blue screen of death---just blank. Frozen. Inelegant shut-down. No commonality in tasks being done at the point of death. It's an annoyance when I'm in the midst of reading email. It's catastrophic when I'm in the midst of creating a work document.

Probably, although I'm fishing for some recognition by a knowledgeable party who says, "oh that's easy, do this." I'm my own computer support, so I am resisting doing the whole weeks-long setup gig on another new machine. Also, I'm literally hundreds of miles from the nearest service center. Mail off or personal return, I'm screwed timewise with no computer. Warranties are not a no-brainer fix for me.
