Alienware m15x AC adapter error

Question

Recently when booting up my laptop, the first thing that pops up (before the boot menu even), is a message claiming that my AC adpater is not the recommend 150W adapter that came with my laptop, although this is in fact the same AC adapter that came with this computer. It has never done this in the 2 years of ownership of this laptop. Specs: Model: m15x Alienware (2-3 years old) AC adapter: *Original adapter* 125 volts, 2.5 Amps, to my calculations(correct me if wrong) this would bring the adapter to a little over 300 watts, which seems excessive... Any help would be much appreciated!  P.S. If this is in fact the wrong adapter, am I causing harm to my computer? I am a casual gamer.

ijohns, There is a document that addresses the AC adapter in the M15x FAQ.
