Alienware Area-51 m15x (non-dell) help!

okay so the computers hd needed replaced, now icant find ANYTHING for it. lol. i have two base system devices that cant find drivers for.

also, its VERY laggy. i cannot locate the old version of command center.
i have hardly more drivers than windows 7 (x64) has installed.

her is the driver id for the two base system devices

1:
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&SUBSYS_0770152D&REV_12
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&SUBSYS_0770152D
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&CC_088000
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&CC_0880


they both show the same thing.

can anyone shed some light for me? i have seached and searched, and this site kept poping up and provided me with useful information. but almost all the links i find are "404"


2 missing base system devices
very laggy, even typing.
command center(cant locate the old version) i have used aurora lights, but i hate having to reset the lights every reboot.
cant find webcam software
the alien fx button just always "disables" never enables. the usb driver for this is installed.
bios x36
went to intel and everythings up to date with them. turboram driver was unneccesary(newer one instaled)
cant get past how freakin slow it is. its the t8300 cpu
4GB ram
64 bit
literally fresh install + drivers+light program. thats it. my netbooks is faster than this now!

any help is greatly appreciated, because this thing is almost useless to me at the moment. thanks!

 

Did you try searching? Many users including myself have uploaded links to every driver the m15x needs for win 7 64. Looking through my posting history or search.

 

i have searched google left and right, and this site keeps coming up with info, but all the links i find are dead. probably about 8 hours of looking, i cant find anything. thus iturn for help. thanks!

 

Sorry you had to look so long, did you look through my posts and find the dropbox link? My link is still good.

 

yea it wasnt fun lol. it would all be worthwhile to get this working again.

im going to look at your links i appreciate it!

Re: need the command center and alienfx for m15x



Sorry the link took a bit for me to get. Here are all the Windows 7 64-bit files I needed for the M15x

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11672987/Forum/M15x%20drivers/Alienware%20M15X%20Win7%20Working%20Drivers.zip

i think i found it. is that it ^^^ and does it include software, I.E the old command center? i really do appreciate it. because im teling you, this is the hardest pc ihave ever worked on lol.

i got his thing for $75. needed a reinstall. still a good pc, as long as i can get the drivers goin.

i will post an update if iget it working with agbove link! thanks so much!

 

That's my dropbox link and yes I included a version of command center that worked for me (I only tested changing the light colors not alien sense or the other fancy features so ymmv)

 

okay so all works well, thanks a bunch! the only other thing, it has a nvidia 8700m gt video card, and well, i cant find any drivers to work for it, the ones i install from nvidia for win 7 64 bit, doesnt work right, nor vista, or xp. lol. any advice?

 

This is a well known issue. You need to use an old nvidia driver because of the hybrid video device switching in your m15x. There is also a long thread about this on the forum you can probably find by searching for m15x 8600 driver. Off the top of my head I think it's version 186 or 187 that you need? Don't quote me on that though.

 

i get the exact same error but i have the nvidia drivers installed? im using windows 7 ultimate, will installing what you posted in the link also sort out my problem also??

 

You should be able to find them on MyHive.

 

I was actually trying to log in the past couple days to my "MyHive" and keep getting errors on the alienware support site. Tried from multiple browsers & pc's. Was wondering if they shut the old hive down.

 

Not that I'm aware of, have you being pressing the button or hitting enter when logging in? Do you have your username and PW?

 

I have tried both enter and the button, though if you go to the Alienware MyHive login page you will notice the button image is missing. If you hover your mouse under the password field the cursor changes so there is a button there.

Also, I know my password BUT if you use the "forgot password" link and enter in an email you will get the following error " A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server"

 

If your still needing any drivers and command center i got them all here -> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8lyffwibg13bgz5/cDmTAa-Usx

it fixed my based systems in device manager.
