It is with great sadness that I must report my Alienware laptop sadly played it's last game last night. One minute I was catching Pals and then suddenly nothing :/
It's pretty clear that the voltage regulator on the motherboard is fucked beyond repair.
I was hoping to replace it soon anyway, but had hoped it would get in to next year at least. I really can't complain about getting 9 and a half years of gaming out of it though.
Time to find a new laptop, maybe an ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 with a 5080. The 5090 version isn't worth the extra £1.5K in my opinion. We'll see...
