This is a LINUX mailing list, right?

Yes, it is. So, the proper answer is, reformat and install Linux

But, if you want to leave Windoze on it, all I can suggest is to try
some basic troubleshooting.

Login as a different user and see if it's a profile issue.

Remove and replace the video drivers.

Reset all of the power preferences. Saving them with each thing you change

Take off the requirement for a password when awakening from sleep.

Good luck!

I have since found out that this is not just my problem!

This is a basic hardware problem that would also impact Linux or any OS
running on an Alienware M17x-R3 and other versions of the M17x.
