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.

Contact Support Dell technology as soon as possible.

And for future questions Alienware, best post in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

  • 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?

  • Alienware Aurora R4 does not start

    Yesterday morning I shut down my computer to install windows updates (16 to be precise) and when I got up about 8 hours later it was 11. Then I went to work and came home 12 hours later and my computer was turned off. So I thought it's over. Now, when I press the power button that fans turn on, then slow down real low, the light on the side flash on for a millisecond (not even at its maximum intensity) and turn off, and I have no connection to any USB and my right monitor says 'no signal '. The white light on the power button stays on, the green light on the back of the power is solid green. When I opened the door where you put a CD into those light fire. I have no way to access the software to computers. I've tried removing power and hold the power button to drain everything down, which did nothing. I tried to put in a CD that has not worked. It never beeps, without flashing, there he is giving fans and light on power. If someone could give me an idea. HELPPP!

    If it was my pc, I would have removed the button battery on-Board 1-5 minutes to clear my bios settings, reinstall it, turning on, see if my screen came if it did, I would get into the bios, make sure that the sata ahci controller is enabled, and then see if Windows starts.

    Otherwise, switch off; Remove all the cards from your memory. Turning the power on. If your mthrbrd is still alive, only it beeps in the presence of no memory... a quiet mthrbrd without memory is a bad sign...

  • Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
    I can boot into safe mode.
    Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

    Any ideas what could cause this problem?
    Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

    any advice appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
    In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
    If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
    These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  • Satellite L40 - 15G - does not start, only power LED lights

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite L40 - 15G that will not start. I click the power button, or with the battery, and only the power led alternately. I can open and close the cd/dvd, but nothing else works. No beeps when I remove the memory, the hard drive led blinks even. I tried with another hard drive, and it's the same thing.

    Could this be the motherboard, the processor?

    Appreciate the help!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware malfunction. I guess that it s related to the motherboard or perhaps CPU, if you have already tried another memory module.

    You should go to an authorized service provider. Guys have good diagnostic tools to check your laptop and repair. In addition, they can order spare parts Toshiba.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say. Here he only a user to s forum

  • Mackbook Pro ME664LE/A does not start - only fan comes on

    MBP ME664LE/A - A1398 (EMC 2673). MacBook Pro Core i7 2.4 15 "beginning 2013.

    During an Office Update, the MBP began to operate the fan periodically. The MBP was not hot. After a while her display off (black) and the MBP has failed.

    Whenever I want to turn it on, only the fan turns on.  I followed all the procedures to get back to zero and also SMC reset, but nothing change.

    Any Suggestions? Could be a known problem?  Someone in the the Argentina Macusergroup said that apparently a known issue related to the card mother apple in 2013 models...

    The MBP has little use, only a few weekend for personal staff... I am concerned, I spent a lot of money in this MBP to get the best laptop at home, and it's a failure...

    Connect the MBP to a monitor.  If the monitor does not display an image, the main suspect is a faulty GPU.  If the monitor displays an image, the display or the connection to the screen is defective.

  • new sd hc card does not start

    My previous 1 GB standard sd card works well, but my pc does not at all to my new 4 GB sdhc card.

    The two works fine in my camera

    Thank you very much!

    I tried the fix and was informed of my pc is up to date and would get not one any advantage.

    This issue has been raised at work a few months ago, I forgot completely - buying a SDHC external drive I had in the meantime for 6 months from Amazon (£2.99) seems the best option, so now do that (I used/borrowed labour SABEULA one and it worked without a problem.)

    Connect the camera to the PC - I'm here to do, but I'm told still reluctant to use this option, due to being on possible battery drain; but a colleague using this option with his canon Ixus and reports xso 'what the problem' maybe I'll try that too for future reference.

    2. 1.5 TB of storage
    3. 1.5 TB of storage
    4. 320 GB movies
    5. 320 GB games

    I copied all HDD 4. movies (only movies and music files) on disk 3.
    then I removed the hard drive of 4 and replaced by a new hard disk 1.5 TB and restarted the computer

    If I remove the sata cable to the back of the hard disc 4 the computer starts fine
    I can plug the cable in just before the windows screen comes up and the hard drive works fine and is FLEURIDAS and all.
    but leave it plugged during the start of what the computer does nothing

  • A80 - 154 does not start - only black screen with strange resolution

    Hello!

    I have a big problem with the laptop. When I start it the power led and battery LED or power plug LED is blue (depending on what energy source is used, the problem appears both!). It's normal. But you don't see anything on the LCD screen. And nothing happens. Are lit, display is not black, no sound of the HARD drive or the fan. When I connected my external 17 '' TFT, he says that there is a signal, but the screen remained black.

    The signal has a resolution of 720 x 400 70 Hz, which is a very exotic resolution and a strange frequency! Anyone has any idea what it could be? I connected no matter what USB or other device. Only the laptop with or without the battery.
