      Hello,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your input and review. We apologize for the overheating and crashing issues you have come across with your m17. We understand how frustrating this can be and we would like to assist you as soon as possible.

      Here are the recommended steps for troubleshooting overheating:

      • To tune your system, go to Alienware Command Center and select out of 4 different thermal profiles that will help you manage system temperatures as well as performance output to your preference. These include Cool, Quiet, Balanced, and Performance thermal profiles.

      • Our Alienware m17 follows 8th and 9th generation Intel performance design guidelines, which can lead CPU temperatures to reach 100°C to output top in-game performance.

      • We fully warrant the product under these conditions. If you see CPU temperatures rising beyond 100°C on Alienware Command Center, please contact support and they will take care of your issue - https://dell.to/2Inbc8F.

      We recommend following the steps above to resolve your issue. If the issue continues, please contact our support team here: https://bit.ly/DellSupportTeam.

      Best,
      Wendy C.
