    Hello all, I have a Area 51 M17x and its CC is acting wierd, unstable if you will. While trying to navigate through CC the images flicker and it is difficult to select the different properties and options. Im hesitant to uninstal/reinstal becasue when I performed that last time my keyboard refused to light up for a while. Any sugestions?

    I think so, because now its nice and stable, I ahve the keyboard pulsing, ALIENWARE one color, the head something else, and the touch panel differen too. Navigating through the options and settings are stable. My GF hates it says it looks like a Christmas Tree. I never want to get rid of the old girl!!!!! Going to buy some 9800m gtxs to futire proof it further.
