post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

 

Just watch the vid,

Everything is stated there,

I so regret calling dell late,

Neeed to pay alot to extend my warranty

 

Nvr actually got to use my PC as well as its supposed to

I rmbr last time comparing gameplay vids on utube, same settings same hardware, but theirs perform better :(

 

List of issues:-
FPS Drops in Games
PC Slows down over time
PC Crashes with loud buzzing sound but can still see the last window opened
PC Crashes with loud buzzing sound and cant see last opened window
Blue Screens

I did not overclock.
Im running on high performance mode.
My PC is plugged in.
'Stealth Mode' is off.

The story:-
Bought My alienware m15x on december 26 2009
So happy cause its my 1st gaming machine
Installed games
Happy with the performance
Realized that it did not run as well as other ppls one by comparing gameplay vids with same game settings and same specs
Realized fps dropping after maybe the game change maps or change scenes
Dint call them.
Finally Called them on november 2010
Ran hardware test and it failed.
They replaced my GPU, MOBO, Hard Disk, and RAM. They also reformatted my PC.
Realized same issues on the new hardware that they gave.
Called them on december 2010 regarding the CD Drive which dint work.
They replaced it.
Warranty expired on december 26 2010.
Called them but they cant help because warranty expired. They just recommended me to reformat.
Reformatted 3 times edi and still same problem.
Hardware diagnostics test stats that my hardware is fine.
Blue screens indicated that its my video driver.
Updated it, yet still same issues.
Now issues are getting worse. FPS drops after few minutes not after map changes.
I GIVE UP.
Late this year(2011), ill extend my warranty and make sure they get it fixed.

Yes i do regret not calling them earlier. Your thoughts and help pls, Thank you.
And sorry for whining and all but its PISSING ME OFF! teehee

Your video card is either overheating or just going bad. Either the computer's got a lot of dust in there clogging the fan, you need a new fan, the intake or exhaust vents are blocked, or you need a new video card. Personally, it's my best guess that your video card is shot (or at least nearly so) and you need a new one.
