Hey

Thanks again for replying, I took the steps which you provided and unfortunately it does appear that the replacement battery is the cause, In fact I actually removed and re installed the old one and the fans and system are functioning normally, So looks like the new battery is faulty and most likely even though it has an alienware logo printed on it, it's either just defective or as I am now begining to suspect a counterfeit battery ( I suspect this only because the type of responses from the vendor) trying to get a return and refund on this, however considering it took almost a month after ordering to actually receive the battery which I thought I was purchasing from dell as this is where I was directed from the Dell website https://www.delllaptopbattery.us/alienware-17-r3-battery-dell.htm

Anyhow thanks again for the help, highly appreciated
