    ok i am using a 210w PSU on my alienware m18x r2. and it NOt charging the battery and it appears to be throttling. as my cpu is stuck at 1.2ghz and my gtx 770m is at 405mhz.

    how do i fix this? i have a right angle adapter for my psu with pin pulled but it doesnt seem to make a difference either way. ideas?

    Try updating the BIOS to the latest version and checking for the internal temperatures of the system. If something comes up or there is no change please let me know.
