Last time I saw some thing like this it was a video card going bad.

Look in your bios and make sure they are turned on.

Did you go into the Bios and disable the hybird graphics setting? I found this boosts performance while gaming.

Well I would have to pull the hard drives (to much personal info on them) but I would send it to you for shipping costs.

Hmmmm.... I have an Alienware Area 51M 7700 also and it only needs a video card. Maybe you could rebuild yours from mine.

Had this problem with my 7700. It was resolved by Alienware sending me a new optical drive.

Or you could find a new MB.

Mine was also low until I disabled the integrated graphics.

Congrats on the new M17X. Had mine for a couple of months now and have had very few problems. I love this machine and if it could cook it would be my new wife.

I love mine
