Alienware 15 r2 220nits display

I bought this laptop and is still in production. A review said that the screen is approximately 300 nits, but now its only 220nits. This will make a huge difference?

It should not.  Especially anything over 200 is nice and bright.  It seems that the UHD version comes with 300 and the FHD version comes with the 220.

  • M18x R2 Windows 8 "unknown device".

    Hello everyone, I have an Alienware M18x R2, which displays "Unknown device" in Device Manager.

    Here are the specs:

    I7 3920

    32GB 1600 Mhz RAM

    2 x GTX 680's

    2 x 1 TB drive HARD Western Digital 5400 RPM

    1 x 60 GB OCZ mSATA HDD

    380 Bluetooth

    WiFi killer

    Win 8 Pro 64-bit

    This particular "unknown device" does not appear with a Windows 7 operating system

    If I use Windows seven and install all recommended drivers, there is no problem, the "unknown device" in question is not yet with Windows 7 running, I did a clean Windows 7 and verified installation each device ID in Device Manager before installing anything else to see if I could find the one causing problems in Windows 8 - this is no where

    As soon as I install Windows 8 and check Device Manager, then this particular "unknown device" appears again, even after the installation of all the drivers in Windows 8 recommended is the only 'unknown' on the left.

    I tried searching the Internet using the hardware vendor ID and the device ID provided in the details section of the "unknown device" but could not find an entry useful, even using the databases of the seller and the material has been a waste of time

    Here is the hardware device ID exactly as it appears, three lines altogether, but I think the top one is relevant.

  • Problem updating display on Alienware Area-51 m15X Vista drivers

    Hello. Recently, I had a virus on my Alienware Area-51 m15X. It finally did my restore my computer to its factory site. Most of the drivers was missing. I reinstalled my wireless card driver and the graphics driver, but the graphics driver does not work correctly. I uninstalled and went on the Web from NVIDIA site to reinstall the appropriate driver, and it still doesn't work right. I used Driver Sweeper to clean all the files on my HARD drive that are associated with the NVIDIA device in safe mode. I reinstalled all the and restarted my computer and I still get the error message. I can't send it because it is not under the manufacturer's warranty, and I have little money to send it to Best Buy Geek Squad. Please, if there is a way to solve this problem, even though it requires the formatting of my HARD drive, I'll be ready to do so.

    I solved the problem. For future use, if you own an Alienware or use the NVIDIA 8600 M GT card, uninstall the driver using Device Manager and use the driver Sweeper to remove all traces of the driver. Once this done, do not restart, but go on the alienware website and download the NVIDIA driver (you must know your operating system, ect. ect. for the driver) and install it. Windows will say that his signature is unreadable. Click on install anyway. reboot and your laptop must be as new :D

  • Problem display LCD Alienware 14

    Hello

    I tried to understand what is wrong with the LCD of my Alienware 14. I've updated to the latest nvidia drivers and the computer is working fine. I can run games perfectly fine but whenever my computer is idle, have of the lower part of the screen goes black and the other half becomes blurred (like watching a fuzzy channel on TV). in any case, I ran stress tests on my GPU and nothing. Then I reinstalled the nvidia drivers and it was fine for a while but started acting again. Finally, when it happened again, I have connected my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable and viola everything went well on television. So I'm I'm sure it's the LCD, but I'm scratching my head because it is practically new. Could this be a faulty connection? Or the screen LCD must all be replaced?

    Yes the LCD needs to be replaced, if you are still under warranty and you live in USA or Canada send me a PM with the serial number and a brief description of the problem so I can help you, or contact the technical support site in your country so they can help you.

  • Alienware X 51 R2 - cut randomly display

    Just recently my computer has turned randomly off screen. This only happens when I turn it on for the first time after a stop down. It will load Windows, turned on until I try to load a game or an application. After loading something, about 5 minutes on my screen turns off but my PC is still on. I checked that it is NOT the monitor that I plugged an Xbox and played multiple games on the subject.

    After the screen turns off, I'll do a hard cock down by holding the power button. After starting BACK I am able to continue to do my normal things without him turning off. Don't know what it could be? And even once, it happens only when that I start after a stop down. But after that it works normally. Any ideas or anyone knows it?

    The only thing I did is change the HDMI cable from the PC to the monitor. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Remember this computer has an integrated video card (HDMI to half the system superior) and discrete video card (HDMI at the bottom half). The monitor must be connected to the bottom half.

    You can also try updating the video driver from our Web site.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • 80 GB SSD drive Alienware-only 11 display in concert.

    When I specced my laptop, I chose this for the HD option.

    750 GB at 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s + 80 GB SSD Caching mSATA

    Yet when I go to system information window it tells me that my SSD drive is

    Size 10.50 GB (11,271,139,328 bytes)

    I have an infestation of moths incredibly small HD and hunger, or did something clever with my other Dell 69Gig?

    It is indeed an mSATA 80G drive - however, it is probably dedicated to start fast, and part of it is defined as a cache for the main hard drive.  The partition that is left is the one you see.  If you want to install Windows on it, you will have to disable the cache function and repartition the disk SSD for WIndows (and 80G will no doubt limit that you can install - although it will help you get started, it will be not difficult to outperform a WIndows 80 G drive).

  • No full-screen video. Alienware 17 & Graphics amplifier

    I have a problem with my Alienware PC screen and full screen. The Setup is:

    Laptop Alienware 17
    Alienware graphic of the amplifier with a graphics card eVGA GeForce 970 installed.
    4K external display connected via HDMI

    Laptop computer and graphics amplifier aged less than 3 months.

    Problem is that when I go to display full-screen video I can hear the video playback, but the screen goes black. This happens with video 1080 p and 4K video from a source that allows me to go full screen. This includes Windows Player, video YouTube on Chrome, video player GoPro, etc etc. As soon as you go full screen, the screen goes black but video continues to play (you can hear the sound track).

    Any advice? I need to change the setting?

    I had to turn off my chart of hd530. You will need to re-enable it when you use it as just a laptop. Are there drivers for AGA, maybe that would help. It's just *.

  • Alienware 15 audio jack not detected

    I've seen a lot of posts on the problems of the audio jack but none with my system.  I have an AlienWare with Windows 10 15.  It does not detect the audio jack of 3.5 mm.  I have Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di driver, says that it is up-to-date.  Tried to uninstall it a reboot, but it seems to remain installed.  When I plugged headphones and try to detect disabled and disconnected devices it shows nothing.  I can get USB working headset, but I really just want to plug into the headphone jack!

    Thanks for any help,

    Hello.

    I would test the audio driver, by changing the audio driver Creative SoundBlaster Recon with the native Windows audio driver. Here are 2 ways to do this.

    1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on Creative SoundBlaster Recon.
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Creative SoundBlaster Recon pilot, do it again but reverse steps 2-7 names].

    ===============================================================================

    Sometimes this procedure does not work with Windows 10, so here's another method, which is to remove all the Creative SoundBlaster Recon driver files.

    1. open Device Manager
    2. expand the section sound, video & game controllers.
    3. right click on the Creative SoundBlaster Recon and select uninstall.
    4. check the option to remove the software driver, click ok.
    5 reboot the laptop and go back to Device Manager and check again a Creative SoundBlaster Recon pilot. Keep the uninstall & reboot up to Creative SoundBlaster Recon is no longer under his... Controllers and "High definition Audio Device" (the native driver) is displayed in its place.

    [The reason why you have to go through the process more than once is because the driver for several drivers Creative SoundBlaster Recon files could be on the hard drive.] When a Creative SoundBlaster Recon driver is deleted, the following is installed if Windows can locate files. Windows installs the generic driver that after all the Creative SoundBlaster Recon files were deleted.]

    ============================================================================

    If you do not hear audio through the headphone jack to listen with a driver, then it is more likely to be a hardware problem.

  • Poll: Offer acrylic window Alienware Area-51 R2 owners

    Posted September 2 event 2016 PAX on Alienbook

    This is a cast acrylic window three angle with edges rounded RAS: the dream scenario

    I want one, not you?

    should it be transformed into a part (limited edition?), sold through Alienware.com/gear

    Yes

    petition for help with me here, on Alienbook & on AlienArena

    This type of window is impossible to do at home; more support it gets the more likely, it could become a reality; They ordered a mold, they have design, & we can help verify the request, so try to validate your desire for one to three places, and help make a reality. You can display your interest in this article by posting here or just click on the "like" button

    It was part of the spring Modders Build - off contest Alienware sponsored, so that they know this hand 1 design & billion Mr Dell in order to achieve a similar; If this design or the prior full window, due to the number of necessary straight cuts, a window of the factory will always be superior to a cottage window, since plastic can have moulded edges all around as opposed to 'cut edges"that none of us could really hide with a look 'factory-window.

    earlier, it almost takes a laser to make the straight cut & have no jagged edges

    dbrewster
    I would like that, seems that they could offer some shaped "light strip" which comes into contact with the contacts fx case

    Yes, I drew attention to the POGO on Arena connector

    It would be much easier to remove the circuit board & its wiring of his mount to the power supply, disconnect it rear FIO map & remove from case & "then" in the connector of FIO POGO L1 (shown) with all new wiring led, for the area of the window, or the largest space of the Interior with multiple internal lights - maybe two ideas - in function where CmndCntr is broadcast by the FIO Board for this side of the business as usual, where once again it's best left to the factory in order to offer such a package

  • Alienware Aurora R4 MIO ALX Board question

    Hello everyone, I know that this subject and I am about to talk about problem has been discussed over and over again, but I have no where else to turn and do not know how to solve a problem, I have so I'll simplify as much as possible. So basically, I had a case of Aurora ALX of R4 and modified with the motherboard and custom components. I have done all the research before hand and found that particular mother that I would work with the alienware command center and mio Board. I ordered the case and motherboard off ebay I got someone who did the case and all the wires for a living it all for me. I got the case and after a few months rose money to put everything. I finished installing all the operating system (Windows 7 Home premium) all the drivers for the motherboard, my graphics card and set to update everything, including windows. The only problem I encounter is that fans are running high, I can't control the lights, or install Command Center, and the MIO Board is not displayed in my device manager its listed as an unknown device.  Here are the things that I've done so far to resolve the MIO Board.

    1 turn off the computer and removed the power cord then the power button which took place a minute with the power cord removed and plugged the power cord and back on my PC, then checked the Device Manager it says its installed driver software but its still listed as unknown.

    2. installed and reinstalled the command center twice, but doesn't not work or do anything, since the jury is not recognized, the software can't find it.

    3 opportunity Alienware software 32 bit Diagnostics to run the hardware test to see if the Board of Directors in the list it does not work.

    4. install a driver for Asus thermal control that I thought would fix a thermal error that appears in the command center, but did not.

    5. Finally, tried to change the usb cable that connects to the motherboard MIO Board via a header different usb then made power dissapation thing as described above and still no luck.

    So I'm a bit of ideas right now, I can't say if Miss me just one type of software/driver or if I need more recent or not. The Council is still fresh and is not bricked I know, due to the fact that the two lights on the MIO card are still on a bright blue LED one and LED light orange so. Also, when I unplugged the usb cable of the MIO card to the motherboard, fans are silent and all lights work but when I plug it in again and then fans are on max and the lights are out. Any advice/Input would be greatly appreciated.

    Specifications of the computer:

    CPU Intel I7 to 4.0 Ghz

    Motherboard Asus Maximus VII gene

    ASUS Nvidia Geforce GtX 950

    16 GB Corsair Ram revenge

    you posted in lastnight here 22:00, but I have not my notify til today. Bravo, you seem to have picked a winner & get your lights.

    When you have purchased your case & decided to install Windows on a hard disk, this 1st time you booted up, your lights should have at the same time you see your Bios screen & ejected from your dvd tray. Note There are no windows or drivers, just a simple interaction between your gross motherboard bios & mio Board. If I was to eject all my hard drives & turn on my pc, my lights will be lit, my mio Board 'works' without a hard drive. It is hard to say why your last Board was not, however the new works, let's get some software installed for it.

    When you started in 7, you might have kept an eye out in your bar to look for the driver past to install, possibly got a desktop "device driver installation" dialog box or similar, as your way of knowing. Since there is no clear indication in your device manager, you can select USB (& peripheral next HID), Action > search the hardware changes, see what he does.

    Whatever it is, it was me, I would then try to install CC 2.8.9; If the installation fails (error platform), copy / save your temporary files in the temp folder, it created, that you did the last time. When a CC install fails, Council MIO get flashed with the firmware, so spend 2.7 CC, see what happens.

    How should OK, I put it.

    Steps back one, pretend that I did not install 2.8.9. If your curiosity is not satisfied on the windows driver, you can disconnect mio usb, power up / power off, reconnect it shows your systray icon & driver dialog box to see if windows install this driver mio; It will take place without connection, next time he "sees", it it will reinstall the driver, which is the raison d'etre. From there, try installing 2.8.9. Consider this an optional step, if when, earlier you scanned for changes on the usb/hid equipment & 'nothing. '

    What I will say is just me speaking aloud. I noticed that you do not want to move to a CC under 2.6. However, if a version 2.5 recommended by Justin is what you end up with, but you do not want to go back so far (I suppose that you fear a brick flashing firmware), you can try this:

    • put power off, disconnect mio usb, turn on
    • install CC 2.5 hard disk, do not restart, shut down.
    • Reconnect mio usb, power up.
    • Look at your systray icon / installation of the Office driver mio dialog box.
    • launch CmndCntr 2.5, see if it 'works', lights change color, fans have cruise control manual etc.

    It is a workaround, you have installed CmndCntr without the IMU with the firmware flashing & you will be relying on the firmware, it has been flashed with advance by the last owner. If all goes well it is harmony & it all works. If you are satisfied, let it be. You are finished. If for any reason you are not satisfied that, later, you want to try to flash the jury, 2.5 CC to uninstall / reinstall, cross your fingers as we all do, simple as that.

    Note: turn off automatic updates of CC

    the tips here are to not allow an automatic update, for fear of a brick, do not allow

  • Alienware x 51 r3 crashed to the Alienware logo screen when I turn on my computer first time every day.

    My new r3 Alienware x 51 will not start windows when I turn the first time on the computer in daily life.
    When the Alienware logo is displayed on the screen, the computer will not load. (No loading cycle appears under the alienware logo). Then the screen becomes black. Keyboard and mouse lights are turned off. Some time, the screen becomes blue background of windows, then the loading cycle does not work any time more and some, the screen has crashed on the Welcome screen of win 10. However, when I turn off the computer and start again immediately. It works normally. If I switech it off and then start it about 2 hours later, the computer will crash again. Every day the first time to activate it, I have to run it twice.

    I used Dell diagnostic software to search the computer, everything is OK. But it's my second X R3 51 during this period of a month. The last graphics card problem, I switched to this one. But the other also has the same problem. Therefore, in my view, it is that my other hardware problem? I connect a keboard Corsair K95 RGB, G502 mouse, joystick Thrustmaster and a saitek rudder. I used a USB 1 4 adapter to connect some of them. The X 51 system is widows 10. I've also used these materials with a X 51 R2 two years previous. Never encounter this problem.

    Got my X R3 51 in December. All of us have had this problem of gel. I "think" what fixed my X 51 R3 rose dating drivers for Intel hardware. Download and run Iobit Drive Booster or snail Majorgeeks.com driver and see if it helps.

    ATTENTION:

    If you use Iobit Drive Booster, uncheck download AdvancedSystem care before installing the Booster Drive. AdvanceSystem Care blocks every time my hard drive.

  • Alienware X 51 A3 gel - repeatable

    News (4 days) X 51 R3, overclocked / liquid cooling, core i7, win10.

    Gel in this situation is the complete blocking.  No blue screen, two screens displaying still no activity impossible ping system from another system, hard disk, any movement of the mouse, no response from capslock, Wallpapers.  No newspaper eventvwr, after the reboot entry errors.

    Unable to get system will probably crash right when the selected tests of diagnosis based on a browser reaches State "Getting diagnosis" in the progress bar.  Repeatable, did four times in a row to boot, with nothing else running but the browser.

    A bios test ePSA, who spent - a well run test of memory proposed 6hr.

    Misc notes:

    • This happens in any mode windows power
    • in symmetric mode, the frequency of the processor jumps to 4 GHz (as shown in OCControls, and/or Intel UERX alienware) just before freeze
    • LC fan also turns upward a bit before freezing.

    Google and hit Alienware support docs already, waiting on phone support as I write this.

    Does anyone else know this?

    ATTENTION: Drive Booster 3 handle Advanced System Care if you do not uncheck on page load. Advanced care system freezes a lot of computers X 51 - R3 so you will have to reinstall Windows 10. Drive Booster 3 loads and runs without problem.

    Also have a X 51 R3 since December 2015. I had this problem lots and lots of times. I can't run an anti-virus except windows Defender program or my computer starts to lock up. These 3 programs I helped.

    You can download all three of free Majorgeeks.com. (1) booster car Iobit 3 update all your drivers. (2) SFC Fix.exe is the same linking SFC/scannow CMD as administrator. but easier. (3) and the best program you download never repair-windows - Tweaking.com. He can fix anything. Be sure to run from safe mode. There is a button that asked me if you what to boot from safe mode. Also run Option 2 "Pre Scan". .

    My computer would be blocking when I tried to help load carrier, but I could go to the AW command center and press the Support help and he would go. Never found errors on the test.

    I think that all my problems were not of hardware and software.  I hope this helps.
