Thx, i solve that problem but i have one more question, is it ok that my laptop temperature is going 92 degres when gaming? Or should i open it and repaste the thermal compound? I have maxed out alienware 15 r3 1080 gtx 32 gb ram and so on (i have warranty and premium support)

@morkovu, that temperature is normal. Regarding repaste, yes, you can try that.
Also, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to improve temperatures:
-
Update the BIOS / driver / firmware to the most recent revision from the Dell Support site
-
-
Disable the NVidia G-Synch (only applicable on G-Synch supported models.)
-
Right click on the desktop
-
Select the Nvidia Control Panel
-
Click on Set up G-Synch in the left hand side menu
-
Uncheck the box next to Enable G-Synch
-
Click on Apply
-
-
Restart the PC and enter the BIOS by tapping rapidly on the F2 key during POST
-
Navigate to the Advanced tab and select Performance Options and press the Enter key
-
Change the CPU Performance Mode to Enabled
-
Set the Core OverClocking Level to OC LV 3 and press the Enter key
-
Press the F10 key to save the changes and exit the BIOS
-
-
When the system boots up, using the pre-installed software Dell SupportAssisst run the stress test.
Dell SupportAssist > Hardware Checkup > CPU > CPU stress test
-
Launch the Alienware Command Center and go to Fusion and monitor the CPU frequency. Ensure that the CPU frequency is within the range during the first 5 minutes
Performance Mode + Highest Level OC (If Applicable) CPU Frequency Intel Processor i9-8950HK in Overclocked level 3 mode 2900MHz~5000MHz Intel Processor i7-8750H in performance mode 2200MHz~4100MHz Intel Processor i5-8300H in performance mode 2300MHz~4000MHz -
Monitor the CPU temperature on the Fusion page
-
The CPU peak temperature should not be greater than 100 ℃
-
When under high stress, the system average temperature can be expected to be up to 95 ℃

i did what u said with oc level 3 and cpu stress and it remain at 3.5 ghz while at temp 94 celsius, but when i tried to play pubg so the gpu working too i got bluescreen after 10 minutes of playing, i think i am getting the bluescreen when it reach the max temp, i switched back to cpu dissabled in bios so my laptop won't blow the fans all day

Sorry for posting after soo much time but i tryied to solve it with my waranty reseller. They change my cooling system but now i see that the problem maybe from the beggining was the nvme overheating while transfering some data. I made a test last time and copy some files from hardisk to nvme and the nvme got to 116 degreese, i have the video and i can reproduce it anytime, at the moment i moved my windows on hardisk and nvme is free exept partitions from dell and alienware. I tried to use it without nvme but it not boot . I am always having problem with overheating and i get alot of fps drop even in not demanding games. and last time i tried to save data from nvme it totaly crassed and give me blue screen and the alienware recovery didn't find any suspicios every time.

@morkovu,
At this point I will advise you to try the repaste.
