You should post your questions about W7 in the W7 forum - its just that that's where
the people with experience of W7 are more likely to look. Meantime, beware of making
any assumptions about forward compatibility !
The first step when investigating a "hang" such as you describe is to look in Event
Viewer (look in its 'System' category) for any events with a Red Cross around the
time of a hang. Double click the item to get details, maybe post back at that stage
?
At a guess, nothing more, you may have an intermittent hardware issue or some corrupt
system files.
W7 will obviously not fix a hardware issue. It could fix corrupt files, but so would
a reinstall of Vista (or maybe a repair/install, or SFC). Get some more information
on the problem before thinking about solutions I suggest.
