    I keep getting BSOD and OSOD and just hard shutdowns. I'm not really sure what's going on and haven't done extensive testing but Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition and Grand Theft Auto V seem to run fine and run good with a little overclocking. But, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Ghost Recon, and Need for Speed games, among others, cause OSOD and hard shutdowns. Anybody have a nice driver they could share that would work well for this M17x-R4. You would think that since we're all using the same laptop that the one driver that works for you will probably work for me. I've tried two different modified drivers. 416 and 441. I've stress tested for hours with FurMark and FireStrike and temps have only gotten as high as 81C. I have a 330w PSU so I don't think that that's the issue. Any guesses?

     

    I think the card is broken i have hard shutdowns as well with my gtx 980m also tryed it at 2 other systems (m15x and m18x) but all the same .......R56 gets really hot on the Graphics card and than shuts down..........seems like a defect to me.

    I fixed this issue by making a Vbios that runs the card at 99% instead of 100% to get rid of the throttle, but now I'm having an issue where the system will shut off when GPU usage gets too high for a period of time. It's not the temps as they never even get over 70. the charger doesn't turn off when the system does, but I noticed its starting to rip where the charger plug connect to the cable. Does this sound like power issues or something else?

     

    I have the same problem does anyone figured this out?

  3. never had a problem with alienware before and they even helped me wen i was out of warrenty (after bios update gone wrong), i guess there are a few faults every where this doesnt mean there bad.....youre just unlucky. i can tell horror story about so many other company's.

  4. Get watercooling .........or extreem aircooling the rest will all produce more heat even if you lower voltage a little and overclocking it temps will rise.

    go for lower setting so that FPS is higher, but thats my vision offcourse i run hybride cooling on a gtx970 and play cod adv on high but i also set stuff down a little.

    temps go up a little because of good cooling. i also have a 7970m but temps go up fast unless i get settings down (not hybride cooled) the mem goes up and they are higher because off bad memorycooling on the M15x i know some may not agree but the main problem on the ati/amd cards is the memory they get way too hot and kill most cards. on my gtx970m the memory gets hotter than the GPU.

    just an example running alien vs predator benchmark.
