• Firefox 4.0 is not working properly (Alienware laptop running Windows 7) - how can I go back to 3.6

  I just downloaded and installed Firefox 4.o and it does not work properly. I am running Windows 7 SP1 on a 64-bit Alienware Laptop i7 cpu 1.2 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM.

  Black boxes cover the text when the mouse passes over it; Some Web pages appear completely black; other flash between black and normal. I can't see tabs when I hover over them (they appear in black). The scroll bar on the left does not. It is very difficult for this type because every time I hit a strike the textblock turns black. It is also very difficult to move to the bottom of the screen.

  The problems seem to be exactly the same as when I downloaded the mine field.

  Can I restore to 3.6?

  Just download it here:

• 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

• (Redirected) The motherboard upgrade, but I would still use the 3770 Alienware x 51 i7 cpu.

  Hi, im having trouble finding the exact chipset of the Alienware 51 i7 x 3770. I bought a new case, the food and the gpu for the project. I also jumped the gun and the waste of money on a motherboard with a lga1150 socket that I thought would work, but was wrong in the end. I noticed on the stock x 51 mb he had 115 x lm on the socket, but I wasn't sure if it was the code of real socket or something else.  I would like to know if someone could inform me on which card code mother socket would support my cpu or direct me to any suited cards Mini ITX mothers who will support the i7 Alienware 3770.

• Alienware x 51 R2 and Intel Virtualization

  Hello

  I have on my Alienware x 51 R2 last BIOS A10.

  However, I can't the virtualization to work. I looked in the BIOS for the option to activate it, but there is nothing on virtualization.

  CPU (i7-4770) mine certainly supports virtualization, so why the BIOS limit this feature?

  There is also the Identification of CPU utility screen:

  

  Comeon guys @ Dell, Alienware x 51 R2 is expensive and powerful PC. Why you limit the CPU features at all?

  I would really like if you could implement Intel Virtualization in the next update of the BIOS.

  Thanks in advance, Josef.

  So the problem was not in the BIOS, but it was in Windows 10 instead.

  Hyper-V is turned on by default, and I didn't notice. (Because I never used it..)

  If the solution is to turn off Hyper-v. You can do this via cmd by this command:

  bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
  

• Alienware 15 R3 2016 m2 2280 SSD

  Hello

  I am considering buying an Alienware 15 R3 (new version of 2016), with pre-installed Windows 10 Pro. The version I'm looking at has a 256 GB SSD more 1 TB HARD drive. I know that the 2015 R2 version supports replacing the internal SSD by a new m2 2280 SSD, but I don't know about the version R3 2016. I have a few questions:

  (1) can I get the 256 GB SSD and replace it with an another m2 SSD NVMe based SSD (most likely the Samsung 960 Pro 2 to).

  (2) as the SSD that comes with the laptop will be the BONES and other drivers, what is the best way to reinstall it on the replacement of 2 TB SSD whenever I swap discs on?

  (3) 2016 R3 supports is?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  (1) Yes, you can.

  (2) you can clone the drive or just do a manual installation.

  (3) it does.

  The R3 has 2 slots for readers of m2 in height, you could take advantage of that for the cloning process.

  Enjoy your stable system! Report it to us, if it's not!

  All,

  I've been following this BSOD issue related to SupportAssist and went up to declare and work with PC-DOCTOR to try to find a solution to this (i.e. gave them crash logs, memory.dmp file, etc.). Long story short, I got a response back from them email 24/03/16, who informed me that a new version of SupportAssist would become available on 03/25/16.

  Guess what? I think THEY FINALLY FIXED! I downloaded SupportAssist version 1.2.6793.01, and ran Express Mode, Mode of Stress and successfully expanded Mode! No BSOD. No crashes. No errors. I ran various scenarios:

  -Ran immediately after DLing without rebooting. Worked successfully without BSOD.
  -A ran after the closure of my lip and let the computer laptop 'sleep' for a few hours. Returned, pulled up SupportAssist and once more ran all tests without problem and tested the other menus, options, etc. within the stability programme. Everything is good.
  -Stop the laptop; left for a few hours. He pulled up, started and re-run again all 3 tests and played around with various options/menu/etc. All successful. No BSOD.

  My test is in only 3 days. I'll give you another update as soon as I went a week with a stable system. However, all this looks like promising review before each of us w / this question could not keep same SupportAssist on our laptop because it would lead to term to BSOD if we ran it or not.

  If it is true fixed - YESSSS! All the hard work, frustration and patience has finally paid off for us.

  (BTW: this can troubleshoot BSOD for several laptops Alienware w / Support help - 15 thru 18 series (i.e. 17 R2 R3, R2 R3 15, 14, 18, R3, etc.))

• New Alienware Aurora R5 does not start. Only 1 day old... Frustrating

  I tried to do the thing of drain of power, did not work. The power button starts with a blue light and then goes to the blinking yellow light. 3 times, then 6. Last night, when he was working he said that alienware needed to make a bios update. I just cut my monitor and let it do its thing at night. This morning I went to turn it on and I had the flashing lights.  For the price I paid for this I wasn't expecting problems occur the day after the day where I got it. I wonder if I should just got another computer in the first place.

• (Redirected) Alienware 14 murder Chargers...

  Hello, good day, my 2 years old Alienware 14 original charger has died, it just was pop - ed game, then I've went ahead and bought another 19 veritable.5v 7.7 has charger, 10 minutes of play the charger off, then my game loses fps and it ran on battery mode, I could not pass on the charger so I unplugged it 30 minutes later I plugged it and the charger came somehow return alive and 10 minutes in the game he has exploded, this time my scent throughout the room as chit and that's $60...

  Just earlier today, I visited my local computer shop once again, bought an another 19.5V 7.7 a charger, this time I spend $40 for a compatible, the charger has a Dell logo on it and it is like twice the size and it itself after 5 minutes the game, I've learned that it's a kind of blocking thermal thingy over overheating. An hour later I can use the adapter again, this time I feel it will jump once again, I thought that the battery could be the culprit and move forward to remove the battery from the laptop and run the laptop without the battery, he was running well, up to 8 minutes of play he exploded again LOL...

  What happens , the smell after the charger has gone... I think it is overheating, must be computer prints laptop too much power and the adapter could not outfits. I will not lose my money, get another, I know same thing going to happen, everyone had this experience? I removed the first magazine cover and found that a small resistor fried.

  Feels as if it was the end, if you ask me, what else could have went wrong. It is not the battery, I think it's the motherboard...

  Sorry, my English is bad.

• Alienware 17 R2 SSD upgrade

  Hey all,.

  So I understand that my willing R2 of 4 bays m2 and a single 2.5 I can use to upgrade with. I was wondering if I could use PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 PCIe interface SSD to fill 4 m2 berries I have available. For example, I was interested in getting this (Toshiba OCZ RD400 m2 512GB 3.0 PCI-Express x 4 MLC) but I'm stumbled upon a thread who says computers laptops Alienware 17 may only use SATA interfaces... If this is true, could work with any SATA SSD interface, as I can use the SATA 3?

  If not, are there any other recommendations to decent SSD I could get that would fit in my laptop? Thank you in advance!

  SATA interface means that it has limited to SATA 3 speeds. This means that a 2.0 and 3.0 will have the same limit based on the port speed. In addition, 4 slots, only 2 can be used.

• Alienware 15 R2: Move OS to SSD

  Hello!

  I really hope that there is someone here who can help you as I struggled for days with that.  I just bought an Alienware 15 R2 with a 1 TB HARD drive and a 1 TB SSD.

  When I got to the machine (and after virtually all my stufff) I realized that for reasons that I can't just begin to understand the operating system has been installed on the HARD drive and not on the SSD.

  I tried mainly to use the USB stick recovery alienware to do a fresh install, but I can't get the OS on the SSD.

  In the BIOS drives looks like this

  Fixed HDD HGST HTS721010 (1000 GB)
  Second HARD drive no
  Third HARD drive no
  M.2 PM951 is 1024 GB Samsung SSD-1

  However, the SSD is not available as an option in the boot (even when you select Legacy) menu.  I tried of pwd protect the HARD drive and to deliberately enter the wrong pwd 3 times to lock, then start with the Alienware USB key recovery.  But when I try to install the OS it will return the error "a required disk partition is missing."

  Please, please, if someone can advise I would be very grateful, because it makes me crazy.  Have the operating system on the HARD drive and leaving the much faster SSD for any storage of files on makes no sense at all.

  Thank you!

  Charlie

  After weeks of frustration, I finally managed to get the start-up of the SSD.  I could not initialize the disk with Partition of AOMEI Deputy.  After much fiddling around, however, I was finally able to make an exact copy of the HDD to the SSD with AOMEI PA and then all of a sudden the SSD starts.  I had tried another disc copy programs without success but with AOMEI it finally worked.  When the SSD finally start, it was easy to do a clean install of Win10 on the partition of win.  My Alienware15 is now 16 seconds to start password Win, rather 3 or 4 minutes before...

  Thank you all for a helping hand and a specific thanks to CHERRYS2 for the tip of AOMEI PA!
