Get a can of compressed air and give a good blast to open ports and cooling fans, this may resolve the issue, if not the fan will need to be replaced. I do recommend the computer be taken apart down the road for good cleaning.

    Thanks, I think my fan is just broken so I am going to get it replaced. You mentioned that I should clean my computer. Are there specific areas I should focus on?

    When you take it apart remove the fans and heatsink and blow out any dirt present, remove old thermal grease if dried out, use rubbing alcohol to remove. Then apply fresh thermal grease to the processor and heatsink small amount only and spread evenly and assemble

Go to alienware's website and find the drivers for your computer. You can find the drivers in the support section of the website and search for your model of laptop. You will be looking for the driver for your webcam. Sounds like you have a driver issue.

Alienware M15x After formating my complete HDD now my Alien-FX is not working properly also i cant install and run any softwares like (cad,Maya,DivX etc.) Please can you give the list of procedures...



If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads as required.

Just Google the manufacturer's name and follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they charge for the information that is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.
