hi ,
have win7 os , search , find if bios upgrade available. search only in manufacturer's page (not unofficial). if bios upgrade available proceed upgrade.

problems described , due acpi + kernel incompatibility. bios upgrade maybe solve battery's problem.

other problem , temperature , due open source ati driver radeon. "manual hacking" needed there drop down temperatures , of can install fglrx (closed source) driver , see how going.
