  • Beeps Alienware 15 times but the boots and works

    Hi, I bought a second hand 15 Alienware, I bought in the United States, but I live in Colombia.
    The laptop speakers do not work, I pluggued an external speaker and now I realize it will beep but continues normally.

    There is something else if I update this option on WIN8:

    Intel - other hardware - Intel (r) platform dynamic and thermal generic framework Participant

    The laptop does not start, it shows a blue screen of death and I need to restore the OS to know last restore point.

    Help me please what it could be?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Alienware 18/w 2 x GTX 980 M 8 GB problems SLI - 8 beeps and no video now detected

    Hey everybody,

    I picked up a 'is' 18 with 2 x GTX 980 m 8 GB cards discreet alienware.

    When you first start up, I got the dreaded "8 beeps" and a black screen.

    I did a lot of online guides, and all said that one or two video cards must be bad.

    So, I opened it and removed the two cards and then tried to turn on without all video cards, which works 100% great.

    I think I tried put 1 card in slot 1, and turns, but in BIOS, Manager devices, GPUz etc, the video card is not detected.

    I tried the same thing with Slot 2 only and the same problem.

    I also tried to reinstall just the two and I still had 8 beeps.

    These video cards are worth about $500 + each, so I'd like to find a way to at least get a job if possible.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Both cards video with SLI cable, everything works correctly! Wow!

    For all those who come to this page, here is my best explanation of what was the fix:

    Remove the battery, remove the video cards, maybe reinstall OS, replace the battery so that the video cards are out, update BIOS to later restore the default BIOS settings, reinstall the video card (1 at a time).

  • Alienware 15 No Post two beep

    Hi, I had this Alienware 15 last year, everything was fine until today.

    I7 6700hq

    980 m

    A strange thing happened this morning. Somehow the laptop can not find wifi hotspots so I turned off the computer and put it back in to see if I can solve your problem. Then the beep. Two beep means maybe RAM issue, so I tried to reinstall and even replace the RAM, but without success.

    Looking for help, I know the locations of memory on the motherboard may be the cause, but I would like to hear from anyone on how this problem occurs in a shot with no obvious indication.

    One thing that I forget, I leave on mode to sleep a lot, and sometimes I just let it run out the batteries.

    Hello

    Check this article for no post troubleshooting Dell:

    Also, try a bar of memory at a time in each slot. If the problem persists please send me a PM with the serial number.

  • Alienware 17 4 beeps after the replacement of the CPU

    Hello

    My, one month out of warranty, and Alienware 17A worked well until Christmas morning.

    When I tried to put one I had no sign of life except 7 beeps.

    From my research it seemed like the CPU or the motherboard.

    I decided to play and replace the processor i7-4710mq.

    After following all the steps according to the owner's manual and carry anti passive gear, I have everything back together.

    When I tried to start it again, it gives me 4 beeps which I believe is insufficient RAM or RAM read/write.

    I have two laptops Alienware 17 identical so I replaced the ram in the laptop to work with this ram and it starts fine for ram, it would seem that the ram is good.

    I'm looking for one direction a little bit to what else could be causing these 4 beeps please.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    This looks like a problem with the motherboard. A failure of the CPU is quite rare, and since you have already replaced the CPU and tested the ram with another system, which leaves the motherboard, which is the only other component that could cause this kind of problem.

  • (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R4 - 6 beeps, no video card

    Hi all

    I'm having a pretty rough week. I do a lot of PC gaming and this week my machine failed on me.

    Under the assumption that I still had warranty, I called Dell. I told them I had 6 beeps, and which would normally be the video card.

    • I replaced the video card, tried two cards into the two slots that they would fit in, with food... still 6 beeps.
    • I have reset the CMOS
    • Reinstall RAM
    • Disconnected all powers components on motherboard and peripheral, and I still get 6 beeps.

    This makes me believe that it is either the motherboard or its power supply.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem?

    TL; DR below:

    I was told that my computer was no longer under warranty and to call to get an extended warranty. 350 + dollars later... I call the next day and told me that I can't use my warranty because the problem arose before I had the warranty.

    I've been upset about it, fine, picks me up at the Department I pay so it can be corrected. I hung up at least 4 times, and I keep getting transferred to the wrong Department...

    I tried to call Dell warranty... They transfer me Alienware that tells me an e-mail:

    ... which is not a valid mailbox and who orders me:
    ... that I get no response...
    I just want to help...

  • Alienware M18x R2: Loud beep when starting

    Sometimes it turns on and sometimes it isn't.  There simply BEEP BEEP BEEP one pause pause until I turn it off.  The Alienware logo does not appear in this case.

    I believe that this way is a bad mother or a corrupted BIOS or something.  How can I determine who he is?  I don't have a warranty so I hope it's something that I can fix it myself, but if it is the motherboard, I guess I have no choice to the send it.  Anyone know the cost if it is the motherboard?

    Thank you.

    First thing to do is unplug, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power for 30 seconds button.  Remove and reinstall the bars of memory.  Try to turn on again.

    If you get the same model single-beep, the motherboard should be replaced.  They seem to run about $350 (parts - People.com);  If you don't replace it yourself, add another $100 or more with a workshop for a total of somewhere around $450.

  • (Redirected) Question 6 - beep Alienware Aurora R4

    Hello

    I used my R4 Aurora for 1 year and a half with no problems and one day the screen closed for 3s, and when the image is returned, Windows show me a problem with the graphics driver. I rebooted the computer and the Aurora was beep 6 Date of 6. After 5 minutes, I was finally able to start and run a full scan of the BIOS but nothing has been revealed. I've just updated the nVidia Driver to be sure, it is not from this and the computor back to work as before.

    3 months later (took place last Sunday), the same thing happens again. But this time even after the update of the new last driver, the computer completely froze again after 2 h and again it was beep 6-time but the BIOS scan found nothing. Today, the computer crashes again during my game and rebooting, it freezes on the BIOS screen. After another reboot, it finally starts and I run the Dell diagnostic tool, but nothing was found.

    To me, it looks like really is a problem with the RAM, because it seems completely random crashes and I do not believe that the graphics card that could affect the operating system like that. However, I would like your feelings especially on what the beep-6 means during the BIOS load? Is it possible that a problem of RAM can trigger these beeps too even if the graphics card is not at all affected?
    Kind regards

  • (Redirected) Alienware X 51 several problems with beep

    I bought my Alienware x 51 in early 2012 and had no problems with it until recently. At first he just started with screen random freezing while playing games would be so UN - gel and everything would be fine, that continued to occur for about 2 weeks and then the computer would just stop responding and I would have to manually turn off (power button). This happened 2 - 3 times and then after the last time my computer beep 2 times, I knew then meant that RAM was not detected, so I bought new RAM and installed it. He then coming a black screen that told me that I had to use my Windows 7 Home Premium, reinstall the disc and repair my system, I did and now it came to beep 5 times in succession, after I Googled it means real time clock failure, but I haven't used the built-in HDMI port I have never even used a HDMI cord on this system. These problems have exhausted just me and I'm really tired of trying to deal with it, so I thought I'd post here and see if everything has no idea as to what is happening.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Alienware 17 4 beeps on startup when upgrading from memory...

    Hello

    I just got my new Alienware 17... When installing a SSD, I noticed that the locations of two memory under the lid without sticks in them so thought that I would upgrade it stock 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM, flipping the rear unit above and turn immediately got a 4 beep error code which I assume is a memory error?

    Transformed and more and I tried a stick at a time in both slots and got the same problem.

    Now I disconnect the battery when you install the SSD drive and every time I removed and added memory (I see this new design, causing some ESD melt downs that you do not have to remove the battery... anyway, I digress) which leaves me to suspect that there is some sort of lock BIOS or hardware that prevent me from adding additional memory?

    Oh and we don't know good memory that I took the Hynix memory of my Alienware M17X R4, similar marked DELL Alienware 17 and she didn't...

    Help, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, or perhaps a BIOS update to solve this... ?

    I have improved my 18 Alienware who had 32 GB of 1600 MHz. 1.35v Micron RAM 32 GB Kingston HyperX 1866 MHz 1.35v RAM. After all, first install the RAM and turning on my laptop, I got these 4 beeps as well and I thought that maybe the RAM is not compatible or something but then I got just the power button for 5 seconds to force the shutdown of the laptop and then power back on then it worked well and have been using it like that for nearly 8 months. I suggest that you try to force the system to stop, and then walk back and try.

    Note: I use the last A10 BIOS

  • Alienware x 51 does not, no beep, no video

    Hello everyone, I have fear of something bad happened to my alienware, I used it very well this morning, everything worked as usual left on when over lunch and then just suddenly collapsed as if a dark outside, but that never happened, I turned it on again and the Alienware logo started to load updates. Yet once started normally on windows and when I tried to open a game it suddenly shutted down once again and now it dosent start.

    If you feel able, you can try to do the following:

    Do a power drain.

    Reset the video card.

    Try a memory in time.

    If the problem persists and the system is still under warranty and that you live within the United States or of the Canada send me a PM with you have the label with a brief description of the problem so I can help you.

  • (Redirected) Alienware x 51 beep Code: 1, after the attempt to upgrade RAM

    I recently bought a new stick of RAM, to upgrade my desktop computer. I then installed in my office, with another - the original-stick of memory RAM. Then, I turned on my computer, only to hear a beep periodic long, immutable, which is emitted from my computer. After some research I found that it was a BIOS ROM - MB Possible failed checksum failure error message.
    So far I have tried:

    • My BIOS data, reset by disconnecting the battery connected to the memory.
    • Reset my BIOS data and replace my RAM, than a stick and both of the original sticks.

    During this time, I realized the clock speeds RAM were different (even if they were not on the original sticks).

    Is it what can I do except buy a new card mother?

  • Alienware x 51 beep

    I don't know exactly when I bought my office and am looking for information on this topic that it's posted. About 2 months ago, my office would be a beep a number unlimited times to start or not restart or shut down. I unplugged the power supply and has waited until morning and plugged and it has worked well and just kept on until updates and other. I recently went out of town for 8 days and my computer turns off. When I got back home and turned on he started updates the update in windows and about 60%, it went to a black screen and started beeping non-stop and so I unplugged everything attached to it and let it set the next day as I usually do, but this time he didn't start it keeps just beep.

    Hello

    Try to make a drain to everything first. To perform a drain of power supply, follow the steps below.

    • Power the system off and unplug the power cord.
    • Disconnect all external devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
    • Press and hold the power button for 1 minute.
    • Connect the new and turn on the system.

    If he continues to do the same thing, try to clear the CMOS jumper. Click here to view a message from Chris that explains how to do this.
