Problem starting Aurora ALX of R4
The system was purchased about 1.5 years ago. Other than the problem "Alien-head and collar light remains lit after turning it off," I had no problem with it.
About 3 weeks, began an intermittent problem. When I turn on the computer by pressing the power button, the computer began (with the fans running, hard drive light flashing... etc) with the normal beep but, from time to time, the monitor doesn't give 'no signal' and stays black. Otherwise anyone on the screen, the only thing I can do is a "hard stop" (ie pressing the button market for a few seconds). I might have to do this 1 or 2 times before having to return the signal. At this point, I get the message 'abnormal termination of window. I choose "normal startup" and then go to the office with success.
Things I did and said: -.
1. replaced by a new DVI - DVI cable but the problem remains
2. replaced by a cable DVI / VGA but the problem remains
3. I tried a second DVI output port of the graphics card but the problem remains
4 tried another monitor but the problem remains.
These 4 tests seem to be saying that the monitor and cable are good. The question seems to be elsewhere.
-I can't reproduce the problem at will. It happens every day.
-Once the computer sends a signal to the screen, all right. So, the problem is still in the computer, commissioning.
-I can hear the beep, I think that the computer going to phase POST successfully.
What could be the cause?
I appreciate any feedback and comments. Thank you in advance!
You can send me a private message with your Number of Service and contact information once you have determined if one or two cards must be replaced.

I have a new chassis ALX that I built and exchanged components of my R4 not of Aurora ALX. It does not start on my Crucial SSD M4. My original thread was about the swap, but I encountered this problem now that the swap is completed. My R4 had bios A11, while the new motherboard in the ALX has bios A08. The unit starts and goes to the start screen for Alienware with post beeps, but does not load Windows on my SSD and I get an error stating "non system disk or disk error." It has been suggested that I have install my motherboard the original R4, but I really hope that there is another way to solve this problem.
Yes I am good Cass. Thanks again for all the help. I'll do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro at a point and move. Now, except for a few small problems, everything is good. The seller sent me a new motherboard and card MIO. Sold my old case on eBay too, except that the buyer is resembling a deadbeat because he has not paid after 3 days. Oh well-REList time!

Alienware Aurora ALX during POST stop
The product support page:
Aurora ALX
I7 - 920 2.66 MHz
NVIDIA 240 sometinsometin, can not learn more about the cards themselves
Delivered in 2010.
Basically, when the computer starts, the fans kick into high gear, the leds light up everywhere, fans slow gradually over a few seconds and then shut down the computer and restart the cycle.
I removed the cards, hard drives and RAM.
When there is no RAM, I get a beep code meaning 2 RAM has not detected, of course.
The RAM and no video card or the HARD drive, back to the problem of start and stop.
I guess that the CPU is ok since POST to check the memory live.
The power supply might be dying, or a problem with the BIOS, or a thermal sensor could be dismantled and act as if the computer is overheating?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .
Be sure to include the version of Windows.

Strange problem with Aurora R4
So I got my new Aurora R4 about two to three weeks, and everything seemed to go well for the first week, until I started to run games like The Witcher, Civilization V and dues Ex: Human Revolution. When I try to run these games I can get anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour into the game, and all of a sudden the entire system turns off and then turns back on.
Whenever he starts the fans are stronger than they were the first week and making a slight rattling too. I have run all diagnostic tests that suggest Dell through their support pages and others that my CPU is running consistently between 50 degrees Celsius and 58 degrees Celsius (temperature BIOS), everything else seems to work at normal parameters. I took off of the side wall of my case of ALX and checked everything, seems ok. Even with the stop sign, The Witcher can only run for about 40 minutes. So I don't think it's an overheating problem.
The little green light on the power supply goes off when the system shuts down as well, so I wonder if it is maybe a power supply problem, or my take? I have not checked the other outlets in the House yet, but she stops whatever one I use in my room.
My specs are:
8.1 Windows 64-bit
Intel Core i7 - 4820 k
Radeon R9 290 x 4 GB GDDR5
16 gb Quad Channel DDR3 1600 MHz
Motherboard MSI Intel X 79 of the Express (not sure what an Alienware uses)
Alienware 875 Watt Multi GPU PSU
Alienware Aurora ALX case
If anyone has any advice, any suggestions on how to fix myself, please let me know. Even if I can refine what the question is, who will really help when I call a technician to Service from Dell.
BrandonGeigerall of a sudden the entire system turns off and then turns back on.That looks like a problem of "lack of power".
Assuming that the power supply wire colors indicate the 12v rails goes video cards:
Try again with a power of each set wire connector at the same time.
Sense, with one card...
Use either P15 or P14
and ALSO
is P17 or P16New with warranty? Of course, call the helpline and use your warranty (but still not above).
Now, if it is on the contrary crashing (without showing the BSOD)... usually pointing to a hardware-core problem.

How to replace a drive to an Alienware Aurora ALX with 2x1To R1 discs
Hello.
I have an Aurora ALX with two 2 1 TB HHD in Raid 1 and I need to replace a drive for a new.
Could you please let me know what is the procedure? I installed Intel Raid Manager. It is supposed to automatically rebuild sets after I installed the drive and starting the PC, but I want to be sure, that it is the correct procedure to to rebiuld Raid group.
Please let me know if you need any additional info.
Thank you.
Assuming that your computer is currently operating in RAID 1 with an array degraded due to a faulty disk, replace the defective drive with a good drive at least as large as the original drive system will be automatically rebuild the RAID 1. It's the usual approach; You should not need to take special measures to rebuild the table.

If so, try the AA batteries (for interior lighting) in order to get a good "power dissipation" reset/fix to this issue. -

Two monitors: 2 x Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 69 cm(27") LED monitor DVI, VGA, HDMI (2560 x 1440), DP black UKI went to very difficult to leave my boyfriend to buy this pc. First of all, that we now live in different countries. I live in the United States and he lives in England. We met on a PS3 game online called DUST 514 and played a lot of pc games together as well. It is difficult to have to steal it back, but we're getting married soon and I'll come to England. He needs a new PC for years and was jealous of my Alienware Aurora R4. So I decided to buy one that is still better than mine since it's even greater player I am . This will also allow us to play more games together .
Then I he wired the money and thought that everything would be ok, but you wouldn't believe the amount of screw - rises, that Dell threw on him! They had even cancel a bunch of commands of the peoples, b/c, trying to control his spec-ed on Alienware has revealed a major screw-up affecting many clients... (Sorry, it made me delete/modify-this until his order passes through. Dell representatives were concerned about what happened past. I don't know if they told people that they had to cancel the real reason why orders and the possible impact on customers with currently Alienware Aurora... I'll tell you what they have done after that his order is finally through. Just a hint... inside your Alienware Aurora, check if you own to make sure that everything you ordered is actually there...) He tried to do this for a week now... I thought Dell was a little better than that... I knew they had bad grades, but really?... In any case, it is a complete system stressed mess of it all back and on phone calls and e-mails with different people of Dell. So I thought that, if it still manages to get the Alienware, maybe I can do even better!
He really should have an SSD, so I'll get a. He was talking and drool on the maps of Titan, so I'll give him two EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Superclocked 6 GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI - Express cards in SLI config! : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp42791kr
I've never built a pc or tinkered with all hardware. I want to make this even more impressive pc by adding an SSD. I think I can install an SSD without any problem (I want the Samsung 849 EVO Mz-7TE1T0BW 2.5 "1 TB SSD)... Oops... I just thought of something... 4 TB SATA is actually 4 2 TB SATAs, put in place with 2 as the mirror... I think that there are only 4 connectors for extension for SSD/HDD... Is this correct? I have to replace one of the SATAs 2 TB with the 1 TB SSD? What configuration I would define then the three SATAs 2 TB? Would it be to say that he would have only 1 TB SATA? Could I set up so that it has SATA 1.5 TB (with SATAs split with half active and part of the half of the mirror for a RAID configuration)? Furthermore, I have really no idea what RAID is or fact, just that you only half of total storage really active and the second half is as a backup in case of failure of a disk or something to avoid any data loss total... It is also the thing that I'm confused about that I don't know if it is also possible to install two graphics cards of Titan in SLI configuration on the micro ATX motherboard, I guess its Alienware Aurora will be, and still less 1 Titan. Yes I know it is exaggeration lol, but the game is very important for us, especially since this is how we met.
Sorry for the long post... Finally, the MAIN POINT & QUESTION:
I have to install a different motherboard like the Asus Rampage Black Edition IV: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivblackedition in order to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration? If so, how this O_o...? Also, I heard that there is a 'girl' Council that controls the Alien FX LED lighting and ventilation Active... How to connect to the new motherboard (if I need to get a new one)? Also if I get the other motherboard (if this motherboard work with everything) this motherboard would have space for 4 x 2 TB RAID 1 + 0 and the 1 TB SSD SATAs?
Please answer. Thanks, ~ value
Setsukato install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?Don't know why you config-ed with two years 780 in SLI if you want two Titan-SLI but this guy did:
http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19512935/20402844.aspx#20402844
Personally, I'd keep just 780 - SLI, since the two configs end up being very similar to the performance. Either they're going run hot (in the game of max.).

Where to get the old aurora ALX drinking?
I finally fixed a problem had my ram whereall is not being read, and before attaching it I thought that perhaps a bios upgrade would do (actually I just need to extract them and put em in a few times) but since I have upgraded to the new bios I constantly have my pc freeze forever.
long story short I want to see if my PC is most stabe on an older BIOS, but every time I search for older versions on dell (ALX) I only see A11. I can just dl any bios has # for the alienware pc?
http://FTP.Dell.com/published/pages/Alienware-Aurora.html
Aurora and Aurora ALX use same BIOS (within each "Release" machine or model).
For Aurora ALX of R1 R1/Aurora (Intel 9xx and x 58 chipset) I like A09.
He has a good chance of bricking or kill your motherboard. I suggest to do the more complicated way of exterior windows to increase the chances of success.

Services Bank web site has a "Print - Friendly View" text, on the top right of the page that displays the account information in a different format if you click on the text. Printing all other functions work ok. The problem isn't when you use them Internet Explorer. The other program is on the Aflacs website, and the problem is very similar. When I click on the text stating "Print copy of invoice", nothing happens, as the text of the Bank. Both work perfectly with Internet Explorer. The problem started about 2 days ago. When it works well, a window will open and show you what it will print and you click on the text "print", and it prints. Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

My iPad has been slow and unstable - it actually seems to be hung when I use it. Once I put it, a blue line with four faces (which forms a rectangle or square) appears on the display and moves as he tries to anticipate my next actions or touch on the scree. All started about four days ago while I was downloading of articles in google scholar. A message that reflects something as "run scripts" or "scripts to run" appeared just before the problem started. Please advise on what I can do.
Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

help much appreciatedHi kkle4,
You use the preinstalled version of Windows 7 in Toshiba? I can t find any information in your posting on OS :(
Otherwise I agree with Akuma and you should check the BIOS version and probably an update would be useful. Before you begin to update of the BIOS here are some useful tips:
-Close all running programs (also, antivirus, firewall, etc.)
-Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator
-Unzip all files from zip archive
-Connect the AC adapter before you can update the BIOS and make sure the battery is fully charged
Maybe you are looking for
