So my laptop is Alienware M17XR3 with a few problems. The battery is dead and I haven't replaced it yet cause it's permanently on my desk plugged in to a power outlet. The graphics card was Nvidia GTX 580m and it's also dead cause of overheating. I just use this laptop mainly for light gaming, watching videos and web browsing.
I think the problem begins after a few blackouts (quite common in my country) and without the battery, I can't shut it down properly. The hanging happens randomly when I'm web browsing, playing games or just on idle.
I was searching around the internet and saw that it might be problems with the hard drive or the registry so I downloaded Seatools for windows to check the hard drive and wise registry cleaner to check the registry. I also used Microsoft security essentials to check for viruses and malwarebytes anti rootkit for rootkits.
The hard drive passed the long generic test and I've defragmented it. I've completed registry cleanup and defrag and did the system tuneup. Microsoft security essentials found no viruses and malwarebytes found no rootkits.
After going through all the tests, it seems that my system is fine but there's definitely something wrong with it. Please help me find the problem. I'm hoping that the problem can be resolved without buying a new laptop cause this one is still somewhat usable.
