Chris, Win7 is a pretty mature and solid OS. I've been using it for 
years with hardly a hiccup. All problems that I've had have been related 
to stuff I plugged in. MS tech support has always been there to help if 
needed...well mostly but for one person who caused some grief a while 
back. A few months ago they helped me with the "ghost printer" issue and 
showed me how to fix it if it popped its wack-a-mole head back up. I'd 
say that's pretty good service for an eight year old product that tries 
to run anything that people throw at it...unlike Brand-X with its 
vertically structured control-freek business model.
Based upon the symptoms I'm pretty sure that your problems are hardware 
based. I'd run a memory stress test and double check all drivers. I 
don't know how to test the power supply system on a laptop but that can 
be a "sleeper" issue with a desk top at least. Pull and re-seat things 
that can be pulled to make sure connections aren't corroded, etc.
