Hi,
I'm using an alienware desktop and I've been experiencing some problems recently.
I had a minidump reader (not bluescreenview) and it told me that the blue screens came from a wrong driver or something like this, and not from the hardware.
Right now what happens is that when I play video games, the game crashes, depending on the game, i can play for about 10 to 20 minutes before it crashes. After several crashes, I get a blue screen. My computer is also a bit slower than before (i've reinstalled it 3 times in 2 weeks). I've checked the device manager (i'd like to add a picture but i don't know how) and i see two things with a yellow warning under "other devices" : "Serial ATA Controller" and "Unknown device". I found this dell forum http:// where other alienware computer owners seem to have the same problem but i didn't really understand what i had to do
I made sure all my drivers were ok, i even reinstalled windows because I thought i had installed wrong drivers...
I also have a linux partition that is still in one of my hard drives but i can't see it when i start my computer anymore since i reinstalled windows. I'd like to delete the linux partition too if possible because it is useless atm. I downloaded intel matrix storage console and it tells me that all the hard drives are OK, and that my system functions normally. I ran the windows memory diagnostic and my 2 ram sticks are ok (i'm supposed to have 3 but the third one is broken, i did some random things in the setup at computer start... i was like "nice, my ram is running at ~1033MHz while it's supposed to run at 1600, i'm gonna change that", but without this stick, everything is fine, just slower.). Oh, I also had some graphics card problems, but it's just that i had to replug it nice and tight.
Thanks a lot,
If you need any additional information about my desktop, just ask, i'll give it to you asap.
