    Hey guys,

    I'm getting really frustrated really. I have the plastic m15x (first one) and its been lagging in games lately due to the fans screwing up. Sometimes in the middle of games, it randomely clocks down and it makes my game lag real bad. So what I have to do everytime to get my good frames back is to touch the stealth button and deactivate it quickly, but its really annoying because I have to end up doing it like every 30 sec.

    Im running Windows 7. Would that be part of the problem? I thought m15x was supported by Windows 7 according to Alienware.

    Anyway I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem. Is there a way I could control the fan speed manually perhaps? I think thats its the processor fan thats clocking down.

    PS: I have X36 BIOS
