MacBook Pro 2011 17" hard freeze

Overheat? The fans revved and suddenly I could use nothing but the cursor. Had to hold down the power switch to kill all and then re-power & startup. I wasn't doing anything unusual, but I had 7 apps open and was amid an auto-backup to TimeMachine.

Just a little disillusioned and concerned, wondering if anyone else there has experienced a hard freeze like this.

It happens, unaware of the terms it is easy to transgress them, maybe read them?

It definitely affects late 2011 models. Read about mine here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2768351?answerId=22764438022#22764438022&ac_cid=tw123456

No, it's time you did.

This is a user community, if you want to 'voice your concerns' then do it where Apple will see it.

The correct place is Apple.com/Feedback.

Here's another thread that I originally posted in. It's only a few comparatively but I'm sure we all have the same problem.

Apple acknowledges the problem:

It took them long enough, but a good thing for all of you that hasn't been able to get the Macbook fixed yet.

7 open apps and a backup going on might cause a freeze?

i've gotten this with my macbook pro 15" 2011. Happens when i exit starcraft 2 and monkey island - but not every time. Have been waiting for this system for months - very disappointed.

Is this the kind of problem that Apple will fix with a software/firmware update or an update of some sort?

Locked up again. Is this error you mentioned what caused it to freeze?
