Multiple Alienware 17 r4 gtx 1080 edition problems
So I bought a brand new Alienware 17 r4 like 2 weeks ago and i began gaming on it moderstely in the past week or so. First issue happened when my alienware was shut off and fully charged but was still plugged in, i turned it on and the usb ports started to give out smoke and burn. So i quickly shut it off and unplugged it and let it cool for a while. After turnin it on I found that the USB ports were fine but the speakers stopped working. Then i started noticing that when i laptop was not plugged into charging, the fps on my games would be around 20 to 30 fps, but whenever i plugged it in they would go up to more than a 100 fps. Im really pissed off because I spent a lot of money on this laptop and all i got is a broken peice of crap.

Alienware is on Fire lately.
seriously now. looks like something shorted out. my Question is, why the Hell are you still using it?? return the Laptop or call Dell and demend Replacement! do not agree to repair this Thing because at this Point other Components might be damaged as well and could cause more Troubles down the Road.
