Hi supermaster,
What is the exact System Model Number of your Alienware Laptop?
If the computer is freezing when running intensive applications such as 3D games, watching Blu-ray or DVDs and streaming online videos, overheating can be one possible cause of freezing. The following are the symptoms your computer may experience if overheating:
* High temperature perceived from the computer case, through BIOS readings or from a third party application (90C +).
* Constant shutdowns or reboots.
* System locks up and/or freezes.
* Unusual fan noises such as whirring, clicking, clunking, etc.
If you observe any of these symptoms in your machine please reply with the same.

Hi supermaster,
The following legacy models are from the earlier generation of Alienware notebooks and were shipped with Windows XP Operating System:
1. Alienware Area-51 m15x
2. Alienware Area-51 m9750
Do you have one of these machines? If yes, please reply with the exact System Model Number.
Also, did you observe the symptoms mentioned in my previous post in your machine?

Hi supermaster,
Follow the steps below and see if these steps resolve the issue:
1. Re-locate your computer where the best airflow and least dust contact are allowed.
2. Place your computer a few inches from the wall.
3. Avoid positioning it inside a computer cabinet or directly onto the floor or carpet. It's better to elevate the computer several inches off the ground to reduce dust accumulation.
4. Keep the room temperature to a maximum of 75 to 85 degrees (Fahrenheit) and around 35% to 40% humidity level.
5. On a monthly basis check the exhaust system (fan and air vents), make sure it is not dirty; clean it using compressed air can.
6. Monitor the computer temperature: - Third-party application such as CPUID HWMonitor is a very user-friendly program which allows you to see the current, minimum and maximum values for the computer temperature, voltages and fan speeds.
7. Check for proper airflow: - Make sure the computer vents and fans remain clean from dust which can prevent the heat and fresh air to pass through efficiently. Additionally, verify that all fans are spinning correctly without unusual noises.
8. In order to clean the internal fans follow these steps:
a. Power off your computer and unplug the power source from the computer and the wall. Remove battery also.
b. Locate the vents and fans and use a computer vacuum or a can of compressed air to fully remove the dust from them. You can use a small brush to clean the vent grills if needed.
Do reply with results.
