    Hey all,

    I spoke to dell today regarding the fact my m11x won't OC without BSOD - they agreed to replace the motherboard - however as Im in texas they could only offer to send me the motherboard or send my m11x in for repair. As I am flying back to dubai at the end of the month - I opted for the replacement motherboard to be sent to me.

    Has anyone replaced there own one too? I'm pretty computer savvy but if anyone has had previous experience with the steps of how todo this and could provide guidance I would be extremely grateful!

    Regards

    Ben
