Hi guys,
My Alienware 17 R2 has been performing very slowly recently, particularly on games - I'll notice quite a bit of lagging (online and offline) in FPS or - particularly with Football Manager, in-game searches being very slow to return results etc.
Dell came out and replaced my whole motherboard (which includes the GPU) and hard-drive in December, I did a fresh Windows 8.1 install and then the upgrade to Windows 10 and it's STILL giving me crappy performance. I've also bought new RAM - some Hyper-X.
I've defragged, checked the disk for errors, got rid of as much bloatware as I can, and upgraded all drivers to the latest versions.
Any ideas on what I might be missing?
