M17x

Hey! Website was recommended by a friend, so I'm sorry if there's some protocol I must follow that I didn't; I'm new. I own an Alienware M17x laptop. Bought it off a pawnshop about 8 months ago. That's all I know about my laptop's internals(sorry). I've had a couple of problems with this thing...

Hello All, Long story short I bought the sager 9150 and had problems right out of the box. After troubleshooting figured out that its overheating and throttling the CPU so it doesn't melt. Going to fix it today by redoing the Thermal paste that I had to pay extra $$ for Sager to put on...
