My Alienware (M17x R4) is almost 4 Years old. While the Laptop is Fine it frequently runs into GPU issues. I was wondering if there is a way to get an external GPU for the Laptop so that it will stop using the internal one?

Anyone can help me with this please?
 
Solution
You may as well sell the system and replace it with a desktop. External video card will need an external monitor to go with it and you will have the device sticking out of the laptop the whole time. And the interface is limited to PCIe 1x speeds which will bottleneck most gaming video card except for the very low end ones.
