T43p freezing, motherboard dead?

[eleonas]

Anyone else have this problem? My T43p had been freezing (everything on the screen is frozen and the only way to get the PC back is by holding the power button for a few seconds to hard shut it off and rebooting)...

Anyways, it finally got to the point where it was freezing all the time making the thing unusable. It went from freezing every few days to this.

I brought it into an authorized service center for repair and they ended up replacing the motherboard and all works fine so far. Has anyone else seen this problem? I notice my t43p runs pretty hot all the time, could the heat have killed it?

I am out of warranty soon so I am worried about this problem happening again. Deciding if I should dump the t43p and look to greener pastures (although I do love this thing outside of the heat issue)
