Almost for sure a defective GFX card, I'd say. It's gonna have to be sent back. But might want to take it into a comp repair shop and just ask for their verdict. Don't let them open it, though!
Oh bollocks! But thanks ever so much for your help in diagnosing the problem, Benny
I just can't believe it - only had this thing about a week 
I don't think I'll be able to find another deal like this with Windows 7 and I'm not sure I'd want a replacement from them so I might end up being stuck with a Windows 8. I know that's not for long with Windows 10 coming soon but I'm not particularly looking forward to that either because as far as I know it's going to be mostly cloud-based like a Google Chromebook. Windows 7 was my compromise position, as close to XP as I could get it. I could also write to the sellers before returning it (I bought it from a marketplace seller on Amazon) and see if they have any advice? In fact they're based just up the road from me so I could visit them.If it's not overheating though, could I just learn to live with it? Or will it get worse?
