  Hello

  In the right corner of the Windows taskbar, you can have a little alien head icon. If you click on this icon, you should see a few options here. One of the options is 'Dim lighting areas. Try clicking on this option to see what is happening. We have a Dell article that explains the different settings you can check when there are problems with the AlienFX lighting.

• 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.

• Alienware 14 keyboard problem

  Hellooo.

  So I just got my new Alienware 14. At launch it for the first time, I noticed that several keys of the keyboard did not at all. I searched and found that some other users had the same problem, even if none of the solutions given on their subjects. In their case, after leaving the computer on at approximately 5 minutes, the keys to begin working again - this only happened to me once, and now, it seems little matter how long I leave it on, the keys still don't work.

  I tried to update everything (drivers and firmware), but still had the problem. I reset the computer to factory settings completely, and still have the problem.

  I bought Dell France, so it's a QWERTY keyboard. As far as I know, wasn't the case with the other users who have had the same problem.

  Just in case it may be a useful: the keys on which are: U I O G H J K. , N S D ² = ^.

  I don't have an external USB keyboard and would really prefer is not to buy one since in all other cases, it seemed to work.

  Bravo and thanks in advance.

  Hi Zanohn,

  To resolve this problem, the keyboard needs to be replaced. I recommend that you contact Technical Support in France + 33 14 19 19 52 2 to request replacement.

  As far as I know, Dell will not sell or export a computer to another country, other than the United States, you can buy a Dell of Dell in Australia.

  For the difference between the two cards, the best in this post in the Alienware owners Club Forum, here:

• Updated new Alienware 17 with CPU and GPU

  Hi all

  I would like to know if it is technically possible to upgrade my new alienware 17 (i7 4800 and gtx 770 m) with a view to graphics card like gtx 780 m and a microprocessor quick as processor 6 or even 8 if these are forthcoming. The motherboard will support the cpu and the gpu? And wil cooling well then?

  Thanks in advance and best regards,

  PFYAAA

  PFYAAA,

  The motherboard supports this upgrade.
  * No. we do not support the kernel following Dell OEM 4 processors:
  C8HRG i7-4930MX 3.00 GHz
  HDX3D i7-4900MQ 2.80 GHz
  M 036 4 i7-4800MQ 2.70 GHz
  86XWW i7-4700MQ 2.40 GHz

  the cooling system which would allow?
  * Because we never test them, we do not know.

  with a higher graphics card?
  * You could pass to the GTX780m of the Dell OEM.
  2K0KW Nvidia GeForce GTX780m N14E - GTX 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with support, thermal pad
  YP26V GTX780m GPU thermal Module right 100w

  and even a core 6 is already available in configuration alienwares 18.
  * Where do you see that? I have seen that the AW17 and the AW18 offer the same 4 core CPU?

  Hi sideshot,.

  I want to change the 1 TB 5400 RPM with a ssd 512 MB or larger. I have to leave the 256mSATA as boot drive? or he clone for the ssd and use it as a boot drive and mSATA as storage and someone has this configuration, I assumed that all pilots will be resided on the mstat what comes on the hard drive of 5400rmp do I need to transfer stuff into the ssd

  As Tesla has pointed out, the best way to do is to replace the 1 TB with the largest SSD HARD drive, and then let the mSATA SSD as boot drive. All the drivers and the operating system will remain unmodified on the SSD and you would just transfer your data from the HARD disk of 1 TB for the new SSD.

  The application purple397 talks about is AlienRespawn. It is factory preinstalled software that allows you to create backups to protect your data. With the premium version, you can create a backup or image on a disc of local storage. For more information, see the link above.
