I received my Optimus VII without an OS around a week ago and installed Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro through DreamSpark. The laptop runs quite well and quick but there are a number of big problems. The laptop won't shut down/restart, the screen just goes black but the keyboard lights remain and the laptop is still running so my only way of turning off is through a hard shutdown. The same thing happens when I close the lid despite changing the settings to sleep when the lid is closed. The laptop just freezes and needs a hard shut down when I press certain keys such as brightness keys, and it also freezes if turned on while plugged in and then plugged out/plugged out and plugged in. Applications such as Steam and Hearthstone wont run.
Also the laptop gets very hot (in my opinion, this is the only "good" laptop I've ever had and I just expected it wouldn't get so hot on just normal browsing/youtube!!) but this may be normal, I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to affect performance it's just the whole laptop including keys gets noticeably hot.
Are all of these problems more than likely due to the windows OS I'm using? Is there a way to fix this and continue using 8.1? I have a Windows 7 key which I've thought about trying to use but if there is an easier fix and a way to keep using 8 I'd rather do that.
Cheers!
