    I played quite a few online games and pc games nothing has gone wrong with it until i started playing heroes of newerth (HON), even though i could plays perfectly but each time when i logout from HON to main desktop eventually or randomly it lockup my m17x within 1-5 mins and i have to do a hard reset for it anyone noes what is going on.

    And i just change to a SSD yesterday thought of won;t be occurring but i tried out just now in fact it still has the same problem with the HDD i have. Is it a graphic card problem or what. Grrrr so frustrating.

    And i did email delll for support but they gave some answer without solution, but just sorry to heard that and thats all ~!!!!!!! :mad:

    If it is only happening with that one game then try changing the video settings before playing it. Try to undo crossfire if you have it, or uninstall and reinstall the game completely.

    if this error occurs with other programs then list those as well. tell us your specifications as best as you can. right now we dont have enough information. :)
