uh? don't be so lazy haha! goto m17x.r4 drivers and download page, choose the option 'find it yourself', and change the os to w8.1. it should be in the application category.

Thanks

The driver doesnt installs :S You sure it's the OSD?

weird. it installed on mine. install also dotnet framework 3.5 from programs and features > windows features. iinm aw.command.center needs it to run.

i'm positive it's osd because i referred to mine. before osd was installed there was an unkown device with yellow exclamation mark in device manager. after install it's gone.

also note the driver installation order. for intel-based systems, always start with intel chipset/inf driver, rst, and mei. (at least chipset/inf first, because it lets os detect and identify other components correctly) after reboot, continue with other drivers (igpu, dgpu, audio, touchpad, ffs, etc.), finally aw applications, such as aw.osd and aw.command.center.

You probably got the update package instead of the installer app. When you got the driver version for your OS, click "view details". Try install the one with file format "hard drive".

At least this solved my issue last time.

I cant seem to find the non update version of this driver :S

http://www.lelong.com.my/dell-pa-9e-240-wa...7-01-Sale-I.htm, or, with additional myr 10.00 or so, you can get 330w, http://www.lelong.com.my/dell-alienware-m1...7-01-Sale-I.htm

the above is based on this post from nbr: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/wh.../#post-10047820 and this, http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/wh.../#post-10048521

Thanks mate

have fun. seriously if possible get the 330w. the adapter will be less stressful, hence dissipate less heat, and have a longer shelf life.

Any fren wan update to this?
DELL ALIENWARE 17 R3 LAPTOP
6th Gen Intel Core i7-6700HQ(Quad-Core,6MB Cache,up to 3.5GHz w/ Turbo Boost);Genuine Windows 10 Home 64bit;256GB PCIe SSD(Boot)+1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s(Storage);16GB Dual Channel DDR4 2133MHz(8GBx2);No Optical Drive;Internal High-Definition Audio;NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 4GB GDDR5;Integrated 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet NIC;Killer 1535 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1;1 Year Warranty

have asked around but they don't plan to update just yet. few of them have converted to clevo or desktops.

tbh since ivy bridge the cpu performance is more or less the same, in terms of high-end cpus. the main things that are interesting in skylake machines to them are pcie ssd and 64gb ram (4 ram slots; 16gb sticks). still, 32gb is more than enough for their usage for now.

I m scared of the amount i need to stock up... area 51 r2 incoming... no take feel rugi.. offer once every 2 months... Stress... u wan invest boh big boss

I'm a kuli lah. And I just wanna be a happy consumer.

Do more work on market trends and stock accordingly lo.

now come 1 batch wif accidental dmg 1.. haha.. sien.. but at least dun need cash up front

Came to conclusion that any brand slot loading internal sata with height of 12.7mm should work for M17xR4. Hopefully I am right as already ordered this *fingers crossed*
