You cannot change or upgrade a GPU in a laptop, very few models have upgradable GPUs and those are the expensive gaming ones. Your friend is stuck with what he has, unless he buys a whole new laptop that is.

I haven't used an Antivirus in like 5 years. If you're not a complete idiot, an antivirus is a pretty antiquated feature for a pc these days.

There are two separate power settings for when the laptop is plugged in vs on battery. Set both to high performance and you should be ok. As far as oblivion, it's an older game, probably less optimized then skyrim, hence the choppy gameplay sometimes.

Check out Sennheiser http://en-us.sennheiser.com/headphones They have really quality headphones/ headsets that aren't Bose priced.

Make up your mind on what you want then... First you say "I need the laptop to get a permanent 60fps o. League of legends without any dips ever I would really like a 17" screen 1080p res too " Implying that you want this thing JUST for LoL Then you say you want the laptop to play...

Well, what is your budget for this laptop? "Gaming" laptops can be pricey. You can play LoL easy on something like HP's pavillion series laptops.

You do realize that there is absolutely no reason to have 220 fps? I bet your monitor refresh rate is 60hz, which means it will only display 60 fps at any given time. Unless you have a 144hz monitor, that's 144 frames rendered max, once again 220 is a huge waste of power and performance...

Seeing how my toaster can run LoL, you'll be fine with any laptop that has a dedicated GPU.

Clean your laptop, take a compressed air can to the vents. The only reason it would shut down like you described is if it is overheating. It is a safety precaution, if it gets too hot, the system shuts down to prevent damage. Maybe also get a cooling laptop pad?

Try this for me: Wrap the laptop exhausts in a towel or something, the goal here is to make it hot. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and reboot without the towel. Connections in laptops sometimes get bad as the thing heats and cools and heats and cools over time, wearing down and cracking the...

I'm not familiar with Alienware laptops, mostly because I don't like throwing away money, but in most laptops the GPU cannot be replaced. Have you tried contacting their support? They may be able to help you out or offer a refund/echange. Good luck.

I suggest removing it entirely, it is essentially just bloatware. You can install just the drivers that you need at that's it. Most modern games will optimize themselves to your system's specification, making the Geforce Experience obsolete. Moreover, anything that program can do you can easily...
