    Hello Everyone im new on this Forums.

    Heres my problem on my Alienware M15x Laptop :(
    Just Recently when i turned off my laptop and the next day when i started to open it my Scroll and Caps are Blinking/Flashing, my Num lock just stays ON and my LED Screen stays black and doesn't shows the Login screen nor the boot menu. But when i restarted my M15x a few times everything was back to normal then later on things got wrong.

    Im Kind a Sad right now because my Alienware M15x didn't reach 1 Year of use. And i Don't have much games on my laptop then this happened to me :(

    I remember I got a similar problem every time i would turn my laptop off after a serious gaming session. After that I realized I should wait and let my temps cool down before turning my laptop off. Haven't had that problem since.
