Hey all, I have an Alienware M14X R2 laptop. I’ve been having issues for several months now. First, is that the computer freezes one time after startup, for maybe 20-30 seconds. This will happen no matter what I’m doing (in GW2, on internet, whatever). Timing of the freeze is random but it often happens very shortly after starting up the computer. I had heard a while ago that perhaps my mouse could be the issue. I did find I had a sticky mouse button and replaced my mouse, but computer is still freezing.

Second issue are lots of DCs while playing GW2. I have a tower computer (not AW) running off of a wireless extender and I never get DC’d when using it. I get DCs on my laptop all the time. Does anyone know of specific AW issues with GW2? Anyone else have this issue? Any advice would be helpful before I throw my laptop through a window… or take it in to the repair shop Actually, I had it in for repair for the freezing issue some time ago but they couldn’t figure it out. The DC issue is “new”.

ETA: Please refrain from commenting in this thread if you’re just here to bash Alienware. If you don’t like the brand, that doesn’t matter to me. I’m asking for assistance, not brand opinions.

Well since no one answered… it was my HDD. Have since replaced it with a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and it’s perfect.
