• Alienware m18x does not turn on

  Hi, my alienware m18x sudently closed today. When I press the Start button, it won't turn. Can someone help me! PS: When I plugged the captain, the led turn off.

  Hello!

  Is the laptop didn't light not at all or is AlienFX of light or fan activity? Have you tried the adapter only and the battery only?

  I already tried the hard reset, the thing that you have to press the button for 30 sec to 1 min and it does not work...

  Just to clarify, did you remove the AC adapter and the battery before doing so? If not, try again after the correct steps: turn the system off, disconnect the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery, press on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, reconnect the power supply and the battery and then try to turn it back on.

• Alienware m18x r1 gpu controls upgrade

  Hello everyone, its my first time here and for the first time have an Alienware, its awesome! In any case, I have an Alienware m18x r1 with double graphics nvidia gtx 560 m and an Intel I7-2680.  I want to move to the gtx 580 m and I was wondering I need to buy something else besides that the gpu as the cables or heat sinks?

  Yes, a 2960XM or 2920XM works beautifully in your M18xR1 or the other of these XM processors will be better than any CPU mobile non-Extreme, including latest processors Haswell. In fact, the obsolete 2920XM, 2960XM, 3940XM and 3920XM processors will be even better than the more recent processor Extreme 4930MX of Haswell. Intel Haswell i7 desktop and mobile processors are poor overclockers and they can't keep up with Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge i7 CPU because of the temperature and the limitation of the problems. Upgrade your M18xR1, you'll have a machine to equal or exceed the performance of 18 new Alienware similarly spec'd, in order to make this upgrade makes sense. You can also achieve the massive advantage of having the ability of a system completely unlocked BIOS flash, which is currently not possible with the new machines Haswell-based.

  You'll need to buy a better CPU heatsink to the CPU of XM support. Order a 3-pipe heat sink M18xR2. He will do a great job and fits perfectly in your M18xR1. Dell Reference number is 0MXJ5.

  I invite you to upgrade to GTX 680 M SLI instead of 580 M SLI. While 580M is definitely better than 560M you will blow a lot of money on a relatively minor performance increase. The SLI GTX 680 M upgrade works perfectly in the M18xR1. Do not use heat sinks 560 M unless they have a sticker showing they are sized for 100W. If they have a sticker indicating 75W, you will run into problems with a 100W GPU. (580 M and 680 M are the two video cards to 100W). While the heat sinks 560 M adapts physically, I do not recommend their use. However, GTX 580 M sinks 100W of heat works really well for 680 M and 780 M video cards.

  Here are the reference numbers for Dell that you would need for this upgrade:

  Part number	Qty.	Description
  XHW5W	1	Fan law, graphics card (if you currently have a single GPU and GPU fan)
  GDMRG	1	NVIDIA SLI Bridge Cable
  CPCXD	2	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 M 2 GB vRAM
  Y48TK	1	Right to heatsink GeForce GTX 680 M (100W)
  5G1VJ	1	Left heat sink GeForce GTX 680 M (100W)
  3MHHT	2	Support NVIDIA GTX plate (can be supplied with heat sinks purchased new from Dell)
  XM3C3	1	330W Delta AC adapter (required for CrossFire or SLI Systems) Note: Dell P/N F0K0N is the same and will work perfectly as part replacement for XM3C3.

  GTX 580 M is outdated and not powerful enough to handle some of today's demanding games and I think that you will be ultimately not satisfied with the results. The GTX 680 M has already been tested and verified 100% compatible with the M18xR1 even if this configuration is not supported by Dell/Alienware. (They can tell you that it is not compatible. Don't believe because it is absolutely not true. 7970 M and 780 M video cards have also been tested and they are all compatible with the M18xR1.) The GTX 680 M is more powerful that any new series 700M with the exception of GTX 780 M. GTX 680 M SLI cards is almost as well as GTX 780 M SLI in the new 18 Alienware. I do not recommend the upgrade to 780M SLI unless money is no object, because they are very expensive video cards. If money is no object, then go with 780M SLI is a no-brainer.

  The increase in performance 680M offers more than 580 M is simply phenomenal... We're talking around a 100% increase in performance, and I beg you to consider this upgrade instead of 580 M SLI. If Dell/Alienware will not sell you video cards of 680M to do the upgrade for your R1, simply buy all the rest and then go get the Clevo GTX 680 M cards MXM 4 GB of Eurocom. Clevo cards work well in the Alienware machine.

  If you buy a new CPU and GPU from Dell sinks, they will come with thermal pads and a 'paste' (TIM) for previously applied die surfaces. The Dell interface material thermal (TIM) is excellent and you will not have to buy any thermal paste for the CPU and the GPU die surface. If you buy used heat sinks, then I highly recommend to use IC Diamond thermal paste.

• the upgrade of my Alienware m18x r2 RAPIDS Questions

  Hello yall I have some quick questions. My system is a gtx win8 - 675 m i7-3630qm Alienware m18x r2.

  I read that the 3840qm and the 3920xm are very similar and the price level for the 3920xm is not worth for an upgrade if money is a problem.

  In this spirit I think to go with the 3840qm, I just need to make sure that I have not upgraded the heat sink or the power supply if you choose the 3840qm.

  the next question is I'm tempted with going with the 3920xm only if I don't have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator, so I have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator?

  last question is after I or until I update my cpu do I need to uninstall or install anything?

  You can use the same any CPU heatsink upgrade you.

  For the i7 3840QM that you don't need to upgrade to the power adapter, you should be fine if you have the 240W.

• How can I access my music folder by using the start menu. I'm used to be able to do.

  When I turned on my computer this morning, I wanted to go to my music folder that I normally have access using the 'start' button in the lower left corner of the screen. Normally, I get instant access. Today, I get a message that needs to close Internet Explorer. I am currently using Firefox as my browser, just to try out it. I use Windows XP Home Edition.

• Fix BSOD when using chkdsk/start

  From these, my computer hangs when it tries to run Chkdsk (since I used windows, it crashed trying to use not start repair) ive tried a number of things, including: using command prompt instead, using an ERD win7, winfixit program and using the command prompt here same thing with the "sfc/scannow" command and it tells me that a repair is underway on reboot (which, once I restart it says the same thing) ive tried chkdsk/r, any combination of chkdsk /f x + / something

  When he tries to chkdsk on reboot (you know, one where he gives a countdown until it begins), it stops at Midway and said something in the sense that a recently installed program ive prevents it. including the single "recent programs" ive installed were video games or cpu - z and ive scanned my pc for viruses / malware using Avira and malwarebytes. None found anything. Ive tried a number of other things that I can't think right now, but my pc works yet oddly enough, but its been crashy since and I don't know if or when his will stop working.

  I have a 10 improvement available windows but I wanted to wait some patched out questions. so as a last resort I can do, but I'd like to solve this problem, any help would be appreciated

• 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.
