Hello everyone, I changed the GTX1070 for my Alienware M17X R5 today, but when I enter the game, the power light and computer screen will be turned off, I have to re-plug the power plug and plug it in again, but when I enter the game again This problem occurs again. Is my 240W power adapter unable to use the GTX1070? In addition, my CPU 4700MQ has unlocked the frequency to 3.4Ghz! Do I need to replace the 330W power adapter? Please help me, thank you

Sorry, I am from China, my English is not good, please forgive me.

Shouldn't be any problems running the 240w AC adapter just not recommended once you start overclocking.
What 1070 did you get? -
My GTX1070 is produced in China, not MSI.
-
First of all you should disable power adapter recognition in the BIOS, this has helped sm of the guys here, who had upgraded to a 1070, iirc.

Already uploaded to mega, the default frequency of this card is 1442Mhz, you can use MSI Afterburner to unlock the frequency to 2442Mhz, but I dare not unlock, afraid it Boom, I don't know if other brands of 1070 graphics card can unlock so many frequencies.

China's largest LCD trading website has the parameters of N173HCE-G32. Chinese people will buy LCD screens on the website. I think the website parameters are not wrong. -
Yeah thats the site I was looking at as well but I didnt see any mentions of IPS, just less color accuracy, higher input lag.

Hello Friend ???, I have the same GTX 1070 MXM video card in my Alienware 17 R1 I also went through the same problem and believed that the reason for this was the 240W Power Supply, then I discovered that this was not the problem !! What worked for me was to deactivate the "ACPI S3" option in BIOS after that I realized that it would not shut down anymore and seemed to send more power to the processor, after some positive tests in games I re-enabled the "ACPI S3" just to see if the problem would return and curiously, the problem never occurred again !! even with ACPI S3 Enabled as before !! That was what solved for me and even using PSU 240W works everything normal!! I Only have performed the "Disable" and "Re-enable" ACPI S3 procedure in the BIOS

Panels don't have drivers.

Nope.

Can I ask you if happens when you install the nvidia drivers? I also have a similar problem with the Gtx 1070 with another display Innolux N173HCE-G32

some interesting posts going on in here.
??? what card are you using now? the chinese one or the msi 1.2? -
Can't the M17X R5 use the GTX1070 on a 240W power supply?
