Save yourself the money

Roughly about 14 months ago I purchased an Alienware M18xR2 for a premium price. Like most others though I have dreamt of the day I would own a superior gaming computer that I would have for years to come. Well let me tell you one thing, I totally regret my decision to spend 4000 dollars on a paper weight. The computer worked fine basically right up until the warranty was going to run out. little things started happening like it would freeze, I would getting errors and such. Really never thought too much about it because I had my brother, who is a computer programmer for the Government, look at it and he said it probably wasn't much. Recently though, I had to wipe everything and reinstall all of my programs because the video cards, yes that's right, both were acting up and not working properly. Now, almost every time I try to load a program, that demands the computer to work harder than usual, it crashes, gives me the blue screen and I have to start all over. Basically people, all I am trying to say here is this, do not waste your time or money on an alienware computer as they are not what they use to be before Dell bought them. They have the "cadiallac" badge but it is still the same old "chevy" your neighbour owns. I will never buy another Dell product and I will make sure I tell all of my friends / colleagues not to as well. This is just my own two cents. Thanks

Well first off,, it would be really nice if you could post the blue screen code.. and other specifics like wwhats your over clock set at..

The M18x-R2 is a beast of a machine and more than capable of runing the most demanding games..

So like I said we need a little more information before we can help you.. And just bashing Dell/Alienware blindly is not going to solve your issues.. You stated you were having a problem but you didnt give any specifics as to what the problem is..(other than a blue screen) we are flying blind here on what advice we can give..

I will tell you this.. please list the config of your laptop.. cpu/gpus/memory(if the memory is what came with the computer or did you upgrade it) HDDS ecct.

also please restart your laptop and when it is starting please press F12 and run the psa tests and report back if any thing fails..

we/I would love to help you as a current M18x-R2 owner but I/we would need a bit more info before we can do so..
