    Please if anyone can help me to repair my m15x with myself, i need some assistance.

    M15x Issue:

    main issue:

    My system restarts automatically when i render using 3dsmax or any other renderer that will stress the machine.

    issue needs to be resolve first:

    my lcd display turns white or very light grey, but the system still running, i can hear the welcome tone from windows xp.

    I try to connect with my lcd TV using HDMI but the fn+f10 dosn't works.

    If i send my AW to the depot i need to pay atleast $1000 for the shipment since i am in Dubai.

    Thanks a lot for my future saviour.

    Well its sounding like the CPU is overheating, i'd take it appart and repaste, but then i've very little experience with the insides of alienware machines, so i cant be much help.
