    Hello, so..

    I honestly dont know were to start. My laptop (Alienware m17x R4) crashed during gaming. And I had alot of trouble installing Windows (8.1) again. Now, after 3 days I finally had almost everything installed again, except for the video card drivers. For some reason my laptop kept crashing during the catalyst installation.

    Long story short. I went info dedicated video card mode (FN + F7) and it will not start up properly anymore. The lights from the keyboard go on, but thats about it. I dont know what to do anymore.

    I need help..
