thank you very much for this. much appreciated. if it doesn't fix the throttling issue, is the only way to apply new thermal paste? or can the throttling be turned off? is that advisable. thanks

have you tried using the modified bios from this thread? which prevents throttling, although i'm not sure that it would cause it to randomly shut off. might be worth a shot if running out of options http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m14x-aw-14/1787-%5Bm14x-r2%5D-vbios-mod-higher-boost-clocks-test-versions-only.html
