Hi,
I have an old Dell Alienware M17R3 (2011 built, “new”A12 Bios). Back in 2014 my GTX580M broke, so I decided to put in a GTX680M, which lasted till recently. Now I’m stuck again with 8 beeps and the LCD not turning on. When I remove the card and switch the laptop on, the LCD at least turns on, so I guess it’s a faulty GTX680M. Now...back then people suggested not to go for a GTX580M due to bad thermal values, but as I’m not really using the Laptop for gaming anymore, wouldn’t a GTX480M possibly be a better alternative that lasts even longer? I heard that GTX700M’s could fit in as well, but people reported non fixable sound issues plus thermal issues. Any ideas?
Noob question: Alienware m17 R2 - SSD/RAM upgrade
in Alienware M17x / AW 17

Got myself an Alienware X17 R2. In the manual it says you can’t upgrade anything higher than 2TB SSD or 16 RAM. I have got a 2TB SSD, but thought to upgrade with another 4TB Samsung. Also thinking to put in another 16 or 32 Ram module. Would that be possible?
