    Alienware M17X
    BIOS A02
    Win 7 x64 RTM (Yes... I have the RTM legally, amazed right?)

    Is this a BIOS problem or a Driver problem?

    (Tried installing different drivers several times, none worked)

    Sorry, I was trying to search the forum, but didn't realize I had to be logged in to see a search button so I wasn't able to actually find topics on this.

    Furthermore, does anyone know where I can download the older BIOS so i can flash it so i get rid of this problem until they've fixed it?

    A lot of people have legitimate RTM installations... I've been using it for a few weeks now, others longer than that.

    I'm pretty sure it's the nvidia SLI drivers.

    Oh yeah, I know. It wasn't a "show off" statement, it was more of a "I don't download illegally" type of thing hahaha.
