    Hi guys I have been re-installing windows and all the drivers and run into a snag. After installing OSD I seem to have run into a shutdown and restart issue. This is my 3rd try at installing windows and I have run across the same problem. After awhile my computer wont start windows after the windows loading screen with my mouse showing in the middle. After some starting in safe mode I found out my power service was the problem. I was wondering if this was a ACPI problem and if someone with an alienware M17x could take a picture of their "power" bios settings so I could see if mine are ok.
