Alienware X51 R3 Freezes Randomly

Hello. I'm posting about an issue that is very common on my -new- computer. It will randomly freeze up completely, and will only shut down if holding the power button. I had contacted tech support, but they had only wanted to blame the issue on damage, despite the computer being new. I have had it for three days, and this issue is becoming more and more common each day. It froze randomly on YouTube. It will freeze every time I boot up skype, and it will freeze randomly on the Internet. I have researched this issue and found no means of fixing it, so I decided to make a post. I already waited a good deal of time to receive the computer, and I do not want to deal with returning it and waiting even longer. I am just looking for a method to fix this freezing issue, and tech support did not provide it.

    Got my X51 R3 in December. All of us have had this freeze problem. I "think" what fixed my X51 R3 was up dating all the hardware drivers. Download and run  Iobit Drive Booster or Snail Driver from Majorgeeks.com and see if it helps.

    BEWARE:

    If you use Iobit Drive Booster, UnCheck download AdvancedSystem Care before installing Drive Booster. AdvanceSystem Care Crashes my harddrive everytime.

    This is the exact thing that has been happening to me.

    I've run the diagnostics and nothing is found to be wrong with the computer, etc.

    I am at a loss.
