I bought a used Alienware M17 R1. I had problems booting it up, but these appear to be solved since I opened it up and blew out the fans with canned air. It appears to work fine until I run the Windows Experience Index, at which point the computer shuts off and so does the AC adapter (the light goes off and I have to unplug/replug it)
When I attempt to run a heavy graphics game I'm informed that I need DirectX 11 to play. I checked and DirectX 11 is loaded. I reloaded it and still the problem. I tried upgrading the video driver and this broke things further--the screen was black after booting Windows 7. This has brought me to the limits of my limited knowledge. What should I do next?
