    Hello,

    My alienware randomly crashing when playing games, I figure out i think its happen because of MCP Temperature.

    I monitored my temperatures and only the MCP Temperature going to 97 -98 C when playing games.
    When not playing games its about 85 - 90 C

    Do you know how can I resolve this problem ?

    If you are technically inclined, just call Dell and tell them what is happening. It is most likely your heatsink is not making proper contact with the chip on the motherboard.
