I've attached all the info. I was playing Shogun 2 on almost make settings for less than an hour... DxDiag.txt

thanks guys for the specs, and ill put up my specs and screenshot soon

do i have to do that every time i update my drivers? Thanks for the help guys

oh ok thanks, does anyone know why they do that for nvidia GPUs?

Just wondering if anyone experienced any over heating issues because I think my is overheating and i wasn't really playing a graphically intense game.

every time i try to get the drivers from the manufacture it says my hardware is incompatible and that i can only download the drivers from dell....

I can only update drivers from the dell website right?

Can anyone recommend a good notebook cooler for the M18x? thanks

yeah the rep told me that only in the premium version can i backup and in the basic version you can only restore

I just did a benchmark with the basic 3D Mark 11 and i scored below 4000..... I have the 2890XM turbo boost to 4ghz Sli GTX 460m video card and 8gb of ram Just wondering if im doing something wrong, or something is wrong with my laptop

thanks for the help, I called alienware and they said i cant backup anything with the alienware respawn because i dont have the premium version....

Thanks , and yes i was using the alienware respawn, and I used a 4.7 gb DVD+R for my back up media

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I just received my new M18x today and I was trying to create a system backup but it stops at 70% on verifying disk... then it says the backup failed or was canceled. Any help would be must appreciated. Thanks
