    A few Months ago I started having issues with my sleep mode. I would exit out of sleep mode and the computer would shut down after a 1 or 2 mins. So 3 weeks ago I sent it in. I also ask if it the motherboard was at fault upgrade it to run geforce 9800gt. Now I can run dual 9800gt vs the 8600gt.

    :)

    So, you got a free upgrade? That's very nice of Alienware to do so for you. :)

    No the motherboard was upgrade due to a sleep mode fault. I had the gpus awhile ago.

    You should try Dox's new drivers at laptopvideo2go.com.
    I am using them right now, and they are stable. Gaming seems a lot smoother.

    Hay dhoang417 I started looking on laptopvideo2go.com when techs could not find the problem with standard Alienware drivers. It work out great. Now my computer running fine. Now I have the long road to install software Ugg.
