    Hi, I have also experienced bluescreens few times, but it was always during mounting of encrypted drive using TrueCrypt. Not sure where is the problem, sometimes it works fine (after restart).

    its good to see iam not the only person with problems, but also not so good to see that other people are having troubles aswell :(

    mine are fairly constant like every 40mins or so give or take 20mins


    its really not what i would expectt from alienware, problem is aswell that i have had a technitian out about 3 times now first was the ram, then the mobo and then they just did my screen and now its BSOd all the time.

    I had a blue screen on my M11x once... but somehow, I managed to "kinda" fix it... I see it was my problem to begin with...

    I accidently changed my HD format on the BIOS from AHCI to ATA...
    I got Blue Screen...
    I changed my Hard Drive format on the BIOS from ATA to AHCI... it did the trick...
    The solution may most likely lie within the BIOS settings... See what may be out of place... (although such problem is unlikely), but give it a try...
