Are there no BIOS chip for sale on fleebay? Assuming you remember which version you had I think you could solder another on? I live in the UK which makes it very hard to come across parts but in the US I'd say you have a good chance and with it being bricked you've got nothing to lose? And if worst comes to worse your back to square 1 with a mobo being needed Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Alienwares are awesome, the older ones that start with M (M15, m17, m18) have an MXM slot which allows you to upgrade the GPU and you can also upgrade the CPU. Then you've got the looks.. Those sweet ass grills at the front.. Rubberised texture on your palms, yes its expensive and yes you can get the same performance for probably less.. But I like the looks to match the performance and for me they go well together. Also its not why I buy it buy the customisation of lights is so great, at night it just looks amazing. With the new Razer Chroma you can also have an awesome light setup to match the current. So yeah. If you don't like the looks, don't care about upgrading (not apply to all laptops) and like the big heatsinks it uses then of course its money going to waste and therefore you have the "other side" so to speak

I benchmarked GTA V with all settings ultra, 16x anisotropic filtering I think it was and it was handling it with ease (50 - 62 maybe a bit more if Vsync wasn't on).. then I went into advanced settings and turned everything up, I don't even know what the settings did yet but I just wanted to see and the benchmark averaged around 13FPS dipped to around 3 when the driving clip come on. Ignore that, i dont know why but when i re ran the benchmark ingot a lot lower 29 fps maybe? With everything nesrly maxed 2x msaa and No grass settings higher it plays it pretty well. But 60fps is way out the question.

Hi All, I need to make 5 posts before I can download the goodies from SVL7, so rather than reply non sense to other threads I thought this may be a good way to see if there's anyone in my situation. I'm sure some of you have come across http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/windows-10-nvidia-whql-drivers-are-killing-alienware-and-clevo-lcd-panels.779449/page-203#post-10098762 and if you haven't I hope you have an AMD card which seems to be one that doesn't have the problems. But anyway.. I purchased my Alienware M18X R2 with some sweet ass 780's in SLI, 3940XM and it was there.. lighting up all over the place on the table and I was getting all excited, Windows 10 installed in around 6 minutes with an 850 EVO SSD, done all the Windows updates and then I typed into Google "M18x windows 10 Nvidia drivers" and there it was.. around three titles down the above link.. Windows 10 and Nvidia killing Alienware and clevo panels. Within a short space of time what did look like a beast now looked like something on borrowed time.. it's three days in and it's still working but then again I'm not the only one to last this long.. some have had their LCD's work for over 2 months so I'm anxiously waiting until the time comes when I either get back and my laptop has shut itself off (which some users said happened) or I restart and get the dreaded 8 beeps signifying the LCD problem which has now been identified as the EDID of the LCD being corrupt. So yeah.. I can dwell but I figure i spent over 1k on on it I may as well have some fun on it while it still lives, so I'll be downloading the VBIOS for the 780's and have a game on GTA V for the time I can
