So far, Lappie is working flawlessly....... I guess the Mobo change did do wonders for my unit.....
Will test it again later tonight when I get back.... and i will monitor for the coming week.... But by the looks of it, the Mobo change has solved my problems except for the ENTER key issue which I have yet to encounter.....

wan make a video for how to operate the laptop? anybody wan?

dont know. i made it 8GB already. is really overkilled. no significant performance increase between 4GB and 8GB

teach you? can no problem.....
8GB is quite nice in installing window, vry fast, boot up laptop also vry fast

yesterday put it to sleep, today let it resume from sleep, after login to windows i just restart it again, then the error message pops up.

anyone try to burn the recovery disc? i just try to restore my computer to factory default, but it say i must have a 500GB hdd to do so.
(i use a 200GB spare hdd to test, too bad i don't have 500gb hdd for spare.)

last time my Xps 1530 windows got problem, so i try to do hdd recovery, run through half way, file corrupted and error message pop up, then i regret why didn't burn recovery disc earlier, finally need to install os then install driver one by one.

so never too early to create the recovery disc, if confident then keep it in a locker first. maybe one day you'll need it. 

anyone use the recovery dics or Alienware Respwn before? any option to create partition during the process?
thanks

I asked a question long time ago regarding wht programs do u use to monitor your m15x temperature, seems like no one answered me
Anyone mind to give a recommendation?

I used to use a fan program for my old dell 9400.

Anyone OC'ed their Core 2 Quad Q9000? ? Seems cool that alienware allows Overclocking in the BIOS and through Nvidia System Tools 6.05

Ya, feeling like the unluckiest guy around. Runnnig temp during games is around 74celcius. With air con ON , the temp drops to 68celcius. Been trying all sorts of games, RE5, Batman Arkham Asylum and Crysis Warhead. Recently, All would result in system freezing but with the music still ON, Can't get out to windows, ... sometimes it would exit to Windows, but most times,.... freeze, hang, Blue Screen,,, reboot!

Been calling DELL and making friends with the late night shift support. Been calling them like everyday for the last 5days to report the progress, I have installed new BIOS after MOBO Change, install new NVidia 186 driver for the GTX 260M, Installed a NEWER Driver (195) for the GPU Taken from NVidia.com , then did a system restore to factory settings via the DELLSAFE Program when u press F8 When on startup. Used without driver updates, then update with ONLY Newest 195 driver, ALL NOT WORKING and the BLUE SCREEN Issue still comes on off and on especially when playing games. The error code is Graphic Display related.

FInally, DELL Has arranged ANOTHER Appointment with me for the Engineer to come over and check the system and he's bringing a new GPU, NEW MOBO, New HEAT SINKS, and maybe a new FAN as well.

SIGH..... No peace in playing games at the moment. Recently lost all my data from RE5 which I have completed once and played half way again.... .
I keep telling DELL, I am the only one with problems so there's definetly something wrong with my M15X!!!!!!

im going to quit Alienware, wanna sell My alienware d.....
now going to play Core i9, with 5970.....

i book ur qx9300 proc quote me a price =x

i want the whole rig. quote me. LOL

he will be our santa 

Wahh , i need an alienware !!
Anyway , m17x is much much more powerful than m15 which powered by i7?

the current i7 are considered quite a fail.. LoL

in 2 more weeks you'll be looking at Arrandale Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 all dual-cores and four threads if not mistaken. Some has Turbo

Well, the Asus G60j has a thinner chassis so I guess a smaller heatsink. Thus, the card need to be downclocked to maintain suitable thermal properties.

See! We already warned u guys bout the aw weight. Now u guys regretted it want yo sell it off. My m17x is heavier thn yers but I still carry it around like an iPhone. U live by yer choices.

hahahah i just help some people curse a con lady on 1 thread last 3 weeks ago.. then suddenly i was suspended on friday without any warning..
