alienware 17 r5 os issue
Windows 11 essentially bricked the laptop. It runs so slow that no games are playable. First it had the wrong wifi driver upon update. I reinstalled killer wifi. The wifi did start working. The cpu is being throttled. I tried different drivers. I tried adjusting the temp settings. It's still throttled. I am able to add more ram but it doesnt look like it needs it. I tried rolling back to windows 10. It didn't help. I completely wiped the hard drive. Deleted all the partitions. I put a fresh version of windows 10 on it. It's still running super slow. I tried different versions of win10. I tried all manufacture drivers. The diagnostic says it's all fine and everything is working. I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've read other reddit posts that are similar, but usually changing the temp settings works. I wonder if there is a windows version & driver setup thats currently working for anyone I can put on this thing that will work. Also, the cpu component looks cosmetically fine, smells normal and it says its running normal. It currently has a win10 H 64bit on it.
