Just got my 7700 back from Depot. Works like a charm now. The guys at Alienware did well. Not only did they replace the motherboard, they also replace a stick of ram, video card and optical drive. Went from a 6800 go to 6800 ultra, guess...

I have had mine for 3 years now. Running great. Of course i do regular maintenance on it every month, like opening it up and and cleaning all fans, replacing AS5 and such. I have had 2 couple of problems like Optical drives failing, but...

Ummmmm.....Aren't these people just a reseller of Sager?

Before you go looking for a new Vid card have you tried the oblivious like reseating the card or hooking an external monitor to the system. Could not be video card that is the problem.

I play it. But I believe it is still in Beta.

Just noticed that the bad guys in "Live Free or Die Hard" are using Alienware laptops. Always knew the bad guys were smart. lol

Quote: If your GPU temps are hitting 70 while idle At an Idle it is around 55 - 57c with fans at 30%. Lower if I use F2 and spin the fans up. Quote: if this started happening after you applied the as5...

Ok before you ask, yes I regularly clean fans. Once a month at the minimum. Also I have applied AS5 to CPU amd GPU heatsinks. Recently I have been experiencing random shutdowns. With GetThermal running the shutdowns occurs at GPU temps...

Bet you are running Nortons.

Never heard of that before. I would check for viruses if I were you. Made some backdoor that allowed someone to change password. Are you sure nobody is just messing with you?
