• Alienware Aurora R4 MIO dashboard light flashing?

  I'm not sure of what we call the Board to the right of the motherboard, but I've heard it called the MIO Board? I don't know, but whatever it is, it has a light on it keeps flashing blue. Every second, the blue light flashes and I'm not sure why.

  I ran diagnosis yesterday by pressing F12 during the boot and found no problem, but the light continues to blink. I have not noticed something weird going on with the PC but, but I know that this light blinks normally.

  I installed a new GPU, the other day, and it is around when this started, so could this be the cause? I don't know what that means or what I should do about it. Here are some pictures just to check what I you talk.

  

  

  The latter two took less than a second of each other, so you can see that they blink.

  

  

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  No, nothing like that. If you notice any problems, please let us know.

• Alienware Aurora ALX lights does not work master of e/s part #.

  I tried to get the lights on my Alienware Aurora ALX job. The only lights that works are the head alien and the flange. Work, I mean that they are white. When I Command Center, it doesn't even show fan/readings of temperature or light speeds. I think that my I/o card is bad.

  I can not get something to change in Comand Center.

  I tried all the solutions on the forums and nothing seems to work.

  I reinstalled windows 3 times. Nothing.

  I reinstalled Alienware Command Center 6 times (correct version and the different)

  I tried shutting down the computer, unplug the power cord and hold the power button for 1-2 minutes thing, didn't work.

  I went to reset the map using the Green rider, did not work.

  I ran a diagnosis and everything seems fine, don't know if it's testing the Master Control I/O Board.

  I'll order an Alienware Aurora ALX Alien FX / Master Control I/O Board, because I am sure that my i/o board is bad.

  The reference is 02JXP2 and version 1.1 mine said A02

  The white mark on my map of IO said A02, but it has the same part number 02JXP2 and version 1.1.

  My question is can I use a Board with the same part number but it says A04?

  Here is a picture of the map of IO with the A02, I want to buy a economy part number 02JXP2 and at the bottom says A04 instead, but is a version 1.1.

  

  If anyone as any advice before ordering the card / advice to see if I can get the lights work on my computer?

  ThatOne_Gamer

  I don't have the cable that connects the motherboard to the MIO card.

  I'm sure that's why my ect lights do not work.

  Right... If it is not connected, it cannot work.

• Alienware Aurora r4 does not start with new graphics card.

  Hey,.

  I have an alienware aurora end of 2012 I believe.

  I currently have a series of 6800 AMD raedon graphics card, processor 3930 r9 k i7 and 8 GB of ram.

  I recently bought a MSI gtx 970 game to replace my old graphics card. I plug this card and it even lights up when I turn on the computer, but however my pc only happens to the start screen where I get the choice after pressing F2 and F12 and then freezes and I can't do anything. I then hear 3 beeps of inside my pc and then it proceeds to a blackscreen where my only choice is to turn it off manually.

  I tried to uppgrade my BIOS without much success (dident make it work), uninstall all graphics drivers from AMD, but nothing has changed.

  So I'm clueless I'm kinda a noob of the pc and have no idea what could cause this and would love help to explain what happens if all goes well if anyone knows a fix.

  THX in advance :)

  You you connected all power cables required PCIe 970? They are probably different config as AMD-6800. You should have 875w PS, but you might need to check that.

  Probably should have uninstalled AMD Driver Suite (catalyst) before removing the card from AMD.

  If card MSI BIOS a double switch, you can try another position.

  Try Mode Windows safe.

  What operating system do you use? Are you running the UEFI BIOS or legacy Mode?

• Council MIO for Alienware Aurora R4

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4 with a case ALX end of 2011 that I need to replace the motherboard.

  Will be the motherboard MSI Micro-ATX with a work of processor I7 - 4790K to replace a motherboard case Alienware aurora ALX and maintain my light and fans

  Dale Hey, I'm on a lunch break, only have a minute. Some CmndCntr old versions can go on a non-Aurora mthrbrd, other more recent versions cannot. Not easy though.

  There are two options because your old mthrbrd cannot be used:

  • Just start in the new mthrbrd with the hard drive, you now who has CmndCntr on this
  • then, uninstall the old software/drivers & install new drivers Z97 etc.
  • That's what we know that re-use of your hard drive / windows install in order to keep CC

  Another option: install an older version of CmndCntr as 2.08.09 that installs on any mthrbrd, but could get glitch with W8 and W10. Ok?

  If your Aurora mthrbrd have always worked? you wanted to give your new mthrbrd a clean installation of Windows & a newer version of CmndCntr? Well, you install a new mthrbrd, pure install windows etc, then a 3rd option, a last resort is then reinstall your old mthrbrd (work) in your case just long enough to install CmndCntr, take that back, install new MB again and that passing your new MB has a newer version of CC on the hard drive, it could then use :

  • old MB is used to pass the software block that prevents installation on a non-Aurora

  All old versions of CmndCntr without a stop block to the 2.08.09 version

  All newer versions which have a block: 2.08.11 / 3.5.x / 3.6.x

  If you now 2.08.11 or 3.5 or 3.6 installed hard disk, I guess a last way to keep this most recent version of the CC on your hard drive - still make a clean windows install for your new mthrbrd - is to do the type of installation where windows keeps your latest files and folders and programs etc., this way CC can remain on the disk. I only did this, but it might work.

  For someone who had a mthrbrd of work, while he was still in the case, they could install the latest / last / latest versions 1, then remove what he & mthrbrd new install, do the overlay install 7/8, CC to keep the disk hard drive etc... all this makes sense? I'm in a bit of a rush here...

  • 2.08.09 & 3.5/3.6 are on Dell.com Aurora pages, listed on R1 R2 R3 or R4 drivers
  • 2.08.11: http://www.dell.com/support/home/ed/en/eddhs1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=442CY&fileId=2990314836&osCode=W764

• New Alienware Aurora R4 freezes every time in 50 minutes

  I just got my new Alienware Aurora and oh joy, my first time owning this beautiful Monster - looking for a machine.  I have owned it now for five 5 days; but the experience so far has been frustration, to put it lightly.

  The machine never stays more than 60 minutes at a time.  It crashes.  When it crashes, I hear the fans always roll the led still under the display theme AlienFX I put and it seems that everything is fine, but:

  1. the SCREEN turns off

  2. the keyboard does not work, systems is not responding to strikes again... as the keyboard is dead.

  3 mouse works now.

  4. nothing works, except the DVD tray that always comes out and in.

  5 only the resolution is to force close it down and then turning it back on, via the power button.

  I just installed MS Office, my keyboard and my mouse.  Nothing complicated.  I've now adjusted the power management to ensure that the disc hard system, display, etc. NEVER goes to SLEEP.  Yet, the machine still crashes as usual.  I'm not even games.  Simply creating a document, or watching a training video.  I even decided to just share my training on the Alienware video file and watch the video from another computer; accidents still Alienware and my video stops.  I decided to disable Windows Update, still problem persists.

  I checked EventViewer for clues, NOTHING.  No log entry for when the system unresponsive.  What kind of a computer is what the hell?  I thought that with Alienware, I won't have any hassles, but this has been an exercise in troubleshooting non-stop for me since I got this computer; It became a distraction, as whenever I sit down to work, I find myself troubleshoot the computer each time.  I'm now trying to force me to forget everything and just use my old laptop; that I supposedly replaced when I upgraded to this Alienware machine.

  It's Sunday today, I intend to call technical support for Dell tomorrow to start the support process.  But to give up some lines here just to get feedback / if there are similar experiences that can shed some light on this problem.

  Please any response that can point me in the right direction will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Yes.  A quick update from my post.  I called Dell technical support on Monday 20 October 2014 and the guys were fantastic.  I spoke with a guy named Bogdan; He spent almost 3 hours working with me on the problem over the phone.

  I'll give you a detailed below:

  At the time that I called him, the computer was no longer able to boot the system.  This is because the previous night, I have run AlienRespawn default factory reset, but the shutdown of PC in the process and then was not start over; and instead showed the blue screen.

  So on the phone with Technical Support, we used AlienRespawn USB backup I had created the first day to reset the computer back to factory default.  And then I connected and put things up so that he can have the remote connection to the computer.  As soon as he connected, the computer decided to die just so :).  So we decided to do the Reboot usual cold.  And once again, as soon as it is connected and looking to run some test, the computer exploded again.

  On the third attempt, the computer remained.

  Bogdan then via a remote connection session, several controls and ran several stress-tests on virtually everything (RAM, CPU, graphics, etc.).  All tests came out, as adopted.  And then we installed software to monitor temperature and other stats like stress tests were running; all readings were really good.  Source of the problem was not yet clear.  We have been jointly shrink on two possible culprits, the graphics card or motherboard (or both in the worst case).

  As we are still brainstorming and then try the AlienFX theme colors, the computer decided that it was time to STOP, once again.  And this time it faced a 6 six sound beeps sound sequence several times.  He did this once before, the previous week.

  The machine had a mind of your own.  It was very random behaviors all the time.  He gave beeps when he wanted to.  He has changed the settings of the BIOS on its own; change the default settings, mode strives / EUFI, etc at random :).

  So we turned and technical support preserved in tests.  He also uninstalled and reinstalled the updated version of the Alienware Command Center.  Even after that, all the readings and the results were perfect, but then Switched OFF the machine once again.

  Makes technical support a call to change the four main components: motherboard, graphics card, MasterBoard and Water-Cooling system for the next day.   So I was expecting an engineer for the next day.  That evening, I decided to install all my software and turn on the computer to a State that is useful for my work and play.

  The morning next day (Tuesday), I decided to continue to use the computer and just keep restarting it out every time.  And then, at some point given around 10:00, he remained THERE for nearly two hours (first time he stayed on this long), I was pretty sure that the problem had gone for an unknown reason.  And to share the joy with my Mrs, the machine went OFF :).

  And this time it's completely DEAD.  It was not turn on anymore.  The LEDs and fan are turning on, but not to life on the screen, the keyboard or the mouse.  It remained so until the Dell technician came.

  To my delight, a Dell technician was at my door at about 14:00, with all the necessary parts.  He was also very friendly and empathetic.  He quickly set to work and replaced all suspect parts.  We went ON and, oh joy :).  The machine came back running.

  He made all necessary BIOS settings and my machine was fully operational.

  I used it for almost 2 days now and no problems at all so far.  It's been great, even if sometimes it's like the trauma remains... I still fear that he might simply turn off on me anytime.  But so far so good.

  So I can say at this moment, the issue is resolved and my device is fully operational.  Thanks for the support.  I hope that my very long story somehow help others who have a similar experience with their machine.

  I went to very difficult to leave my boyfriend to buy this pc.  First of all, that we now live in different countries.  I live in the United States and he lives in England.  We met on a PS3 game online called DUST 514 and played a lot of pc games together as well.  It is difficult to have to steal it back, but we're getting married soon and I'll come to England.  He needs a new PC for years and was jealous of my Alienware Aurora R4. So I decided to buy one that is still better than mine since it's even greater player I am . This will also allow us to play more games together .

  Then I he wired the money and thought that everything would be ok, but you wouldn't believe the amount of screw - rises, that Dell threw on him!  They had even cancel a bunch of commands of the peoples, b/c, trying to control his spec-ed on Alienware has revealed a major screw-up affecting many clients... (Sorry, it made me delete/modify-this until his order passes through.  Dell representatives were concerned about what happened past.  I don't know if they told people that they had to cancel the real reason why orders and the possible impact on customers with currently Alienware Aurora...  I'll tell you what they have done after that his order is finally through.  Just a hint... inside your Alienware Aurora, check if you own to make sure that everything you ordered is actually there...)  He tried to do this for a week now...  I thought Dell was a little better than that... I knew they had bad grades, but really?...  In any case, it is a complete system stressed mess of it all back and on phone calls and e-mails with different people of Dell.  So I thought that, if it still manages to get the Alienware, maybe I can do even better!

  He really should have an SSD, so I'll get a. He was talking and drool on the maps of Titan, so I'll give him two EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Superclocked 6 GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI - Express cards in SLI config! : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp42791kr

  I've never built a pc or tinkered with all hardware.  I want to make this even more impressive pc by adding an SSD.  I think I can install an SSD without any problem (I want the Samsung 849 EVO Mz-7TE1T0BW 2.5 "1 TB SSD)... Oops... I just thought of something... 4 TB SATA is actually 4 2 TB SATAs, put in place with 2 as the mirror...  I think that there are only 4 connectors for extension for SSD/HDD... Is this correct?  I have to replace one of the SATAs 2 TB with the 1 TB SSD?  What configuration I would define then the three SATAs 2 TB?  Would it be to say that he would have only 1 TB SATA? Could I set up so that it has SATA 1.5 TB (with SATAs split with half active and part of the half of the mirror for a RAID configuration)?  Furthermore, I have really no idea what RAID is or fact, just that you only half of total storage really active and the second half is as a backup in case of failure of a disk or something to avoid any data loss total... It is also the thing that I'm confused about that I don't know if it is also possible to install two graphics cards of Titan in SLI configuration on the micro ATX motherboard, I guess its Alienware Aurora will be, and still less 1 Titan.  Yes I know it is exaggeration lol, but the game is very important for us, especially since this is how we met.

  Sorry for the long post... Finally, the MAIN POINT & QUESTION:

  I have to install a different motherboard like the Asus Rampage Black Edition IV: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivblackedition in order to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?  If so, how this O_o...?  Also, I heard that there is a 'girl' Council that controls the Alien FX LED lighting and ventilation Active... How to connect to the new motherboard (if I need to get a new one)?  Also if I get the other motherboard (if this motherboard work with everything) this motherboard would have space for 4 x 2 TB RAID 1 + 0 and the 1 TB SSD SATAs?

  Please answer.  Thanks, ~ value

  Setsuka

  to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?

  Don't know why you config-ed with two years 780 in SLI if you want two Titan-SLI but this guy did:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19512935/20402844.aspx#20402844

  Personally, I'd keep just 780 - SLI, since the two configs end up being very similar to the performance. Either they're going run hot (in the game of max.).

• (Redirected) Power Alienware Aurora R4 problem

  My Alienware Aurora R4 light not after a black out home. I took it will be checked and technology, said that the power supply does not work. I decided to look for a power supply, but as I'm in Toronto, the Canada, it is difficult to find dell parts unless you buy online.

  I managed to find a PSU in my town that seems identical to that on my system, but I don't know if it will work on my system.

  Original Power Supply Model # H875EF-00 (that's the one that was inside the alienware aurora r4)

  I found - power supply model # H875E-00

  Two of these blocks of output 875W power but there is a difference on the sticker by reading the tensions here is the difference between the two models:

  Model # H875EF-00

  INPUT AC (50-60 Hz): 100-240V ~ / 12.5 A

  + 5V AND + 3.3V SHOULD NOT EXCEED 225W

  ---

  H875E-00 model says no.

  INPUT AC (50-60 Hz): 100-240V ~ / 14A

  + 5V AND + 3.3V SHOULD NOT EXCEED 150 W

  I would like to know if it is possible to replace the power supply with the model #H875E-00 in my Alienware Aurora R4. This power supply would cause computer damage or make one of the components do not work properly.

  Thanks for help you.

• White light internet Wrt1900ac Charlotte

  Hello, I perform certain factory system reset on my router, and when I tried to complete the installation I am stuck on detect Internet step. I have reset my modem also tried with another router and it's works fine, but my wrt1900ac detects the connection just stuck there and Internet white light continues to blink. Any advice? Not very tech savy so step by step would be great. Thank you

  If the ISP's modem has a built-in router, it is best to fill the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: link >http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm if the modem cannot be filled then see if the modem has a DMZ option and enter the IP address of the router gets the modem and put it in the DMZ modems. Disable any WiFi modem from the ISP and filters such as firewalls and other. Also check the routers DHCP IP address may be in conflict with the ISP modem 192.168.1.1 IP address. Check to see if it's the same on the ISP's modem and if the modem cannot be filled, replace the 192.168.0.1 Linksys router ou.0.254.

  Preferred method of connecting with a modem of stand-alone ISP:
  ISP modem > router WRT1900AC<>connected devices.
   
  Method of connecting with a modem with integrated router which can be filled with ISP:
  ISP (bridged) modem > router WRT1900AC<>connected devices.

• Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

  Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

  But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

  partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

  And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

  

  Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?

  Thanks, Saucybagel

  P.S. I moved here instead of "office computer Forums (Audio, General Hardware, video) ' as advised.

  P.P.S. well, positions of copied it exceeds in any case, I don't know if I can move, heh

  Hello

  Yes, the 8 GB will work on the slot XMM3.
