Nonya, if you go to dell.com:

Click on "My Account"
Enter you your log-in info
click on "My System and Peripherals"
Add your AW's service tag
Delete your old machine

Done!

It says the Service tag is invalid.

nonya24 · 11-03-2009, 02:19 PM

I'm having an issue with my M17x now (Here we go again.) When I play really demanding games like Crysis (or play COD5 with "supersampling") it will stutter for a few seconds after every 15 minutes. I checked my GPU temps and they ran at about 60/65C and the CPU stayed at around 40/45C, I'm thinking of getting a cooler for it, but I don't know what kind. Does anybody have any suggestions?

BTW here is some gameplay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5oCISkCVjw

Fraps was locked at 25FPS.
Normally on that level it stays about at 80/100FPS.

Got W7 Installed. Everything is working fine besides the Media Strip. I reinstalled the OSD and it fixed it until I rebooted the machine, now it quit working again. Any ideas?
