    So the thing is, I used BIOS to overclock my CPU.
    After that, I tried to use Intel XTU to overclock my computer, but it messed up BIOS.
    I fixed it by the way in here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...un-full-stock-turbo-speed-38.html#post9525876
    The thing is, after I reset the bios, the BIOS will gone black (not even with the "beep" sound) again if I turn "overclocking" on on the BIOS.
    How can I fix this problem and get overclock again?

    You could try flashing the BIOS or disabling the overclocking. By the way, there's no Alienware 17 R6. We had Alienware m17x R4 and the current revision is just called Alienware 17. :thumbsup:

    Notice that you're talking to an Alienware representative so try to be a bit more respectful.

    It might say m17x on the bottom of your laptop but we all know for a fact that the newest revision is simply called Alienware 17, and as Porras pointed out there's definitely no M17x R6.

    Cheers.
