I have an Alienware m17x R4, a couple of days ago i've had my GPU and heatsink replaced due to a manufacturing defect after 8 months of use.
Ever since then the laptop has a slight vibration to it, i feel it whenever i put my hands still anywhere on the chassis, and this vibration increases to a more noticeable level when the GPU fan maxes out (during heavy gaming) and it's really annoying. (not a violent vibration where i can see the keyboard keys moving, more like a buzzing feeling)
the fans sound normal, act normal, and my temperatures are normal.
i've tried tightening/untightening the fan screws, i've tried reseating the hard drives, and the heatsinks, but the "vibration" still exists.
Any idea what i'm looking at here?
