X7900 or X9000???

Well for the past couple weeks I have been having some problems with my M1730. My processor has been overheating and causing my system to blue screen. Before that was happening I noticed it was getting really hot (70+ just while browsing the web) so I was asking my contact about the penryns, if they were just a simple swap in or not. At first he told me that my motherboard did not support them but after I showed him that the new A06 bios says it handles new cpus and the penryns are the only new procs to come out for my laptop, that they should work just fine. He said he was going to check into it for me but while he was doing that for me (he was checking into it for me for about two weeks) my system started to blue screen and lock up. So I told him that I was having some problems and mentioned that some of my friends have the X7900 and X9000 and even have them overclocked to 3.4ghz and they weren't having the same problems so I thought there was a problem with my processor and asked if he could have someone look at it for me. Instead he said he would just swap it out with either the X7900 or X9000, whichever one I preferred, and I picked the X9000 of course. Well a couple hours later he emails me back and said he doesn't know why but he is not able to put in an order for the X9000 but can for the X7900 and asked if I wanted that one instead. I told him that I really wanted the X9000 because it is the new 45nm processor and should run cooler then the merom and since I am having heat issues that the X9000 would be the best bet. I asked if he could try it for a couple days to see if he is able to get it for me. I am wondering if I should wait and try and get the X9000 or if I should just get the X7900? What do you guys think???

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I dont know how long it will take and I am a very impatient person when I know I am getting something. I sure hope he is able to figure it out by tomorrow.

No I was not trying to show off. I was actually debating on weither or not to even post this thread cause I didnt want people to think that is what I am doing.

The only reason I mentioned those processors to my contact was for comparison. I was just trying to prove a point that if a much faster and even overclocked processor does not have issues overheating and causing the system to blue screen then my processor shouldn't either. Not once did I ask him to exchange my processor for a faster one, I just asked him to send a tech out to make sure everything is working properly.

I also hope that people who are having bigger problems then I have been having get taken care of as well.

No, I wasn't trying to do that. I just wanted mine to be looked at and instead he offered it.

Wow man that stinks. I bet they will replace a lot of parts at the depot. Hopefully that fixes it for you. This is one sweet system but they seem to be having a lot of problems, some more then others. I just hope that after this, that I dont have any more and I can get back to gaming.

Yes that is correct.

Yes you are right, something is ----ed up. You guys should be able to get your problems taken care of and I think it sucks that you guys have been through so much and I really do hope that you get taken care of and soon. Unfortunately with Dell it is all about who you talk too.

Also not that it matters but fens original system was a E1705 so that may be some of the hold up but at this point that doesnt really matter and he should be taken care of for all the crap he has been through.

wow that sucks man. Shouldn't you be covered under the 21 day warranty from the day you received the computer or has that passed as well. They should fix the computer if it wasnt working to begin with regardless of what warranty you have/had.

ummm it's not. I have a T7500.

I sure hope everything comes back fine from the depot. When I sent in my E1705 to the depot it was all messed up and that is what lead to me getting my M1730. All they did was swap the motherboard and they didnt even test it after they swapped it. The only part that they sent back that was incorrect was my battery.
