    I received my P170EM today and the first boot went fine, but after just a few minutes, it black screened and I had to hardboot it. After which it would just freeze on the windows logo. I could get into safemode but was not able to install or uninstall the AMD drivers. I did a clean windows install which went find, I did the chipset drivers, rebooted just fine and then installed the Intel/AMD driver package from the disc. After it installed and I rebooted, it froze just as before at the windows logo. I saw a similar issue brought up before with no solution as of yet. I am currently reinstalling for the a second time and will install the intel drivers first and then try installing the AMD drivers second. I don't have much hope for that working either and am at rather a loss at what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Update: Installing Intel drivers did not work, going to try another set of drivers after installing the Intel ones, this will be my third fresh windows installation.

    Nothing works, three windows installations, multiple installations of stock and 12.7 beta drivers yield nothing at all. I have tried everything, I guess its time to slap the return label on it. Second laptop(first one from alienware) that has arrived DoA, I feel the world is telling me i'll never get a working gaming notebook.
