Power Alienware 15 R2 delayed on

Hi all

I have a problem with my brand new R2 of Alienware, when I arrived, he ran ok for the first day and then just stopped turning the next day... so they gave me a replacement :) and told me that I had a mother FRY... the problem is - I think the replacement is going down the same path, it turns very well on repeated use , but when I turn it on after 4 hours of non-use, there is a significant delay between me hitting power and no sign of life from the laptop... after like 5 seconds I start to hear the fans turning / or is it HARD?... anyway... I'm afraid one of these days I'll turn it on and it just will not... what could be the cause? should I send the rear unit?

I read somewhere that BIOS might be the cause, but mine is on the latest version of the driver, however I reinstalled the driver, nothing done... the other two possibilities that I have read is a defective power SUPPLY or the motherboard block...

Can you please advice?

Hello

Because of some updates to the Bios, it is a normal expected behavior during post for Alienware 15 R2 and R3 of 17.

You can also run a test of ePSA/diagnosis on the system, if you want to be sure that everything works well. Click here to see a Dell article that explains how to run this test. Let me know if you receive errors.

  • Replace the block to POWER Alienware

    Hey guys, I bought an Alienware Aurora R4 in early 2012 and the PSU is at his last breath, there problems by giving enough power when you do pretty much anything, I get the screen flicker, pilots does not and PC plant, not ideal. I know that you might wonder how well do you know this and that, I spent the time to understand and it is indeed the PSU I used the software, I checked everything manually to see if it's fine. So with that I need a new power supply, I can get a replacement? Any other feeds work with the R4s wiring?

    I would really like to hear something from maybe those who have upgraded to a better diet, I know there a good number of you who have done work on some Alienware cases. Thank you new guys and I hope to hear from some of you soon. PS sorry if this gets asked a lot I do not know this, but all the help I can get is very appreciated if.

    the only one able to work with the harness business supply Aurora are the models 1000/1100/1200 w Area - 51 longer R1, but u lose a disc hard bay in the attempt because of the length. link included below, as well as most of the material of this forum swap. Do not advice that explains how to connect your card grfx with the pattern of cable, like here:

    Can I supply the Alienware X from 51 to this? http://www.Amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-series-Watt-CX600/DP/B0092ML0OC/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t

    According to this message, it would be the best diet for her.

    It is also an internal power source.

    The largest power supply available for this computer is the AC adapter / CC 330W.

    The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 isn't a card for the X 51 R1. If you want to upgrade your video card, that I recommend that upgrade you to one of them:

    GeForce GTX 555, 1 GB
    GeForce GT 640, 1 GB

  • (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.

  • Power Alienware Aurora R2

    My diet does not work well and I need a new.

    I looked on the Dell website to see if they had a replacement but they didn't have that a 875W, I'm looking for 525W because I had difficulties to install in a different diet, when I bought one last time.

    This will be compatible with R2?

    or

    I tried to watch my diet to see what it was, but I couldn't find a number. But that's what food come by default in the R2 aurora still. Thanks for the help.

  • V3 - 574G black and cannot restart the laptop screen

    Currently unable to use the laptop at all because he has himself in a State where I can not restart to reset.

    When "on", the keypad backlight is on but the laptop has a black screen - and pressing caps lock for example does nothing (should be a status light?) and pressing Fn + F9 does not switch the backlighting on the keyboard.  The battery charge light turns on when I plug the power supply as the power light when the laptop is supposed to be 'on '.

    The obvious thing to try is to hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, but after I press power for 2 seconds, the power goes out and continuing to press on the power button are nothing else.  Pressing power again after a delay to turn it back on to bring him in the same black screen condition as before.

    Can anyone help?  I saw a previous response where the solution is to open the back of the laptop to remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes - but have never opened the laptop before and would rather not as still under warranty.

    The machine is an Acer V3 - 574 G-56LU, and I have updates Windows automatic running (so has updated to Windows 10 anniversary for example), and I regularly use the Nvidia GeForce driver for the graphics card update.

    A happy ending - has proved to be a card mother dud.

    How's this for Acer service? Referred to a case of repair, dropped the laptop off the next day (Friday) to a UPS drop-off, delivery performed Monday at the centre of repair, motherboard diagnosed and replaced within 2-3 hours and packed for shipping to me upward this morning. UPS return delivery the next day (this Tuesday afternoon). Data on the hard drive that I couldn't save all intact. I am delighted! Thanks Acer!

  • Issue of auto-start

    Hello

    In our system, we automatically start two virtual machines in a specific order. So my question is, if I simply set the order of 1 and 2 under the parameters of Autostart with little or no time delay, the second power of the virtual machine once is first actually powering, or will it start turning on after the first start of power?

    I guess that, basically, I wonder when a second VM starts power compared to the first VM. (I just want if ensure that the first virtual machine has enough time to complete the power before the beginning of the second).

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello and welcome to the communities.

    So my question is, if I simply set the order of 1 and 2 under the parameters of Autostart with little or no time delay, the second power of the virtual machine once is first actually powering, or will it start turning on after the first start of power?

    The delay time allows you to control the time between the turn on/off the virtual machines. The only way you can make any assumptions here on virtual machines having started is to use the option "Continue immediately if the VMware tools begin". If you need to be absolutely sure that the first VM has started, so I recommend using a longer delay time and possibly also use the option "continue immediately if VMware tools start." I would test the option 'Continue immediately if VMware tools start' widely well.

  • Alienware 15 - R2, brand new, AGA, after power cord

    Hi all

    I just got last Friday my brand new Alienware 15 - R2 with AGA (Alienware graphics amplifier) and GTX 1070. All the work perfect, except the food. For some reason any after brick power play is connected after a few hours just unplug its self. Plug is still connected to the computer laptop but is jump light blue on the cord and laptop said to use more performance please plug power adapter when the adapter is connected.

    For now the only solution is to unplug and plug it in again and the light and laptop power is back, could someone help? BIOS has been updated twice and is more recent, I swapped the power cable from the amplifier and did not help.

    UPDATE:

    I found that I can play so long and everything seems to be ok until what I stopped game, power cord loses all power (the blue led turns off) and to get the power back to my power brick, I need to plug out and plug it into the wall.

    OK, so the problem was solved when I replaced power :-) run all day on the new power brick and no problem.

  • Alienware 15 no power

    Hello guys, I want to say my problem and see if you can help me.

    So today I came home, tried to start my computer but nothing happened (no lights, no noise fan, nothing as he died), I did a quick search and found this problem was called no power problem, so I called support, after an hour and a half exposed, they said they couldn't help me because I'm not in the USA or the Canada (I live in Tbilisi, Georgia).

    So, what can I do about my problem? (Alienware 15 R2)

    P.S., The computer is still under warranty.

    Ok

    You can try to do a drain to everything first. To perform a drain of power supply, follow the steps below.

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

    Once that is done, try to test the battery only / AC adapter / CC only or both at the same time.

    Check if the led on the AC adapter lights up when you plug in to the computer.

    Finally, please follow this article as the last troubleshooting step.

    Concerning the transfer of the warranty, the end date remains the original.

  • The Alienware X 51 R2, 970 GTX and power

    Hi all

    I'll get straight to the point here.

    Can the Alienware X 51 R2 run the 970 (stock) GTX?

    Must be downclocked to run?

    Is 330W power enough for the 970 GTX?

    Thanks in advance

    Ray

    Many people have the upgrade to the 970 fine GTX without too much effort (read: no downclocking) on their X 51 R2 with 330w POWER supply. You should be fine.

  • Alienware x 51 used to power up

    My son has a 51 x and tried to change the processor to an i5. Now the computer wont power up.

  • Need help for upgrade R2 of Alienware x 51: card graphics, RAM, power supply

    Hi, about a year ago, I purchased the Alienware R2 x 51, and I want to improve.

    Im a bit new to this so I need help, so I came on the forums.

    Current form (these are the parts I want to improve):

    GeForce® GTX 745 with 4 GB of DDR3 memory

    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770 processor

    8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    You want to upgrade to these parts:

    GTX 960

    16 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    I'm not sure things:

    -I don't know if I currently have a 330w power, I heard say that because I have the R2 version of the x 51 Alienware, I 330w power (but I'm not sure so if someone can help with this, or tell me how do I know if I have a 330w PSU)

    -Ive seen someone use this card with his alienware x 51 and it worked perfectly and I was wondering if it would work with my alienware too

    • This card will fit in my alienware x 51?
    • It will run smoothly?

    -Last thing is I need help with the ram, I want to buy two 8 GB sticks and replace them with two 4 GB ones I currently have. I'm not sure which RAM should I get (if someone can help with this and leave a link) which is compatible with my x 51 alienware.

    If you had something but the 645 GTX, GTX 745 or GTX 750 ti, you 330w POWER supply. The PSU is determined by what GPU, you, you no what revision. If you want to upgrade to the GTX 960 (the one you accessed is good), you must supply 330w (what I describe as a big black brick with an oval green LED). You probably have the 240w.

    Most desktop DDR3 RAM should work with the X 51. Some will not be because they do not match (heat sink (?) too thick and rounded).
