first gen. m15x keeps on freezing?

Hi
I need help with my m15x. I reformated the hardrive from win. 7 to vista and now my computer is freezing. I dont know what im doing wrong and i dont want to mess it up even more by hard reseting it. pease can someone help. Thank You

 

yes hears a big tip go back to 7 there is a reason that microsoft realsed it its becuse vista dosent play well with anyhting, look how long it was between xp and vista then look at how long between vista and 7 "light bulb". well to be more helpfull be more specific is there any funcinality or is the screen going black cant wrong things what , more info better fix.

Yeah Vista is really bad, I installed windows 7, and then after having touchbutton problems (Stuck in Stealth Mode) combined with video driver issues I went back to Vista, and then gave up and sent the PC back to alienware for a motherboard replacement (Covered on warranty) and then they gave me back the PC with windows 7 installed, this they feel that windows 7 is better to use on these systems as well. Although I can't shut off my touchpad anymore which does kind of bother me.

 

it login's ok, but after 5 min it just freezes and can't do anything. My Alienware was working very well with vista and im not going to buy another serial key for windows 7. I think it might be the drivers i did not install correctly but don't know. is there a specific way? I was going back and reading the m15x manual and it says to boot cd from the bios I just hit f12 and reinstalled windows. I dont know if that would have an effect but thats what I did. any help would be very appreciated

 

This thread helped me get Windows 7 running on my wife's m15x. That includes a patch to get the touchscreen function key to work.
