    Apologies if this has been covered before. I have an issue with my M17X-R2 whereby it doesn't turn on half the time unless the power cord is plugged in. It's a bit embarassing since I use this for work and presentations. Does anyone know of fix?
    My system is 720 i7, rgb, crossfire 4870, raid 0, win prof, 4gb ram if that helps. Thanks

    Hello,

    I have the same problem on my M17x R2. Everything work with the adaptator, but without it my computer refuse to start (1/2 time) or crash (shutdown) after a couple of minutes...
