I've had an M15x for about two years now. It's been absolutely Hell on earth to get any sort of stability out of it. I can't game at all. whatsoever. If I play any game, from something as light as Civilization III all the way to Battlefield Bad Company 2, the computer will crash (Solid red screen) about ten minutes after starting playing. The card is not overheating. i've taken it out, cleaned it, and reapplied TIM. I've reinstalled every driver there is, all the way back to the early Nvidia 200 days. I've tried Windows Vista, 7, and 8. I'm convinced there's a fault in the power delivery or a hardware fault on the GPU itself. (GeForce GTX 260m)
Dell/Alienware has refused to be helpful at all. I have called them multiple times, and since the problem can't be reproduced when the rep is remote-logged in, they refuse to help me. i could write a whole rant thread about it if I chose to.
I like the look of the computer. The hardware was strong when it was released. But it's been sheer hell to get it to work for more than a short time and no support to be had.
