    Hi Matty! That is a good question! Often the newest driver is not the best driver. Here is a thread that may be helpful: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/580144-m17xr3-owners-driver-updates.html

    You can find tons of information on this subject by searching our forum using Google: site:forum.notebookreview.com M17x R3 6990 Drivers

    In addition to the link provided by GeoCake, here is an example I found in the M17x sub-forum using Google: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...rs-horrible-bsod-somewhat-workaround-now.html

    Because the forum search feature does not work effectively, it is temping to create a new thread to ask a simple question, but Google is very effective.

    For anyone in our community that is reading this thread, especially our newer members, please take a moment to review the information in the links below if you haven't already done so.
