• (Redirected) Alienware aurora r4 (end of 2011). My computer is the breaking of my gpu?

  Hi, I had trouble with my r4 Alienware Aurora (end of 2011). The original gpu was a 555 gtx, but I upgraded to an hd 7970 just a few months after I got the computer. This card lasted a year and the theanks to a three-year warranty, I got a new hd 7970 which also lasted about two years before he fell. Still, I got a new card of the company, that I bought, but this time, it was an x 280 r9. This card lasted about an hour before I started having accidents. I decided to send my computer to a company that troubleshoot computers and they concluded that it was the gpu that was broken and they couldn't find any problems with my other components so they think it was a mistake to plant on the r9. However this doesn't seem to be a coincedence, and I think that there is something in my computer that breaks my graphics cards.  Only one strange thing is that my original gtx 555 works perfectly.

  Has anyone else had this problem with their r4 aurora?

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora (end of 2009) and monitor Dell 3715

  Hello

  I have a late 2009 Alienware Aurora and want to add a Dell P2715Q monitor. I don't seem to have the good ports to connect the two. Can someone suggest a solution (short of buying a new computer). I want the solution to allow me to get the HD display on the screen if possible.

  Thank you.

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R4 - replacement hard drive failed by disk image

  I went to the Dell website and ran the diagnostics for my R4 Aurora. He said that the hard drive had no 2 tests. So, Dell quickly sending a hard drive 2 TB of replacement. I received it today. The bag of the hard drive has a sticker that says "image". I guess that means that a new installation of my Windows 7 Ultimate factory has been installed on the hard disk. I did not receive any instructions, except to say that I need to replace the failed hard drive and return it within 30 days. OK, I can do the physical dominance, but there are a lot of questions, I feel unanswered.

  Where are the instructions step by step to do this?

  Should I get the ID product, s/serials for Windows 7 and office products that I have on the old drive?

  Someone please point me in the right direction. My warranty includes no cat, and Facebook and Twitter are not my best subjects when it comes to getting help.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. The moderators of Dell, plese chime and let me know as well.

  Thank you

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R4 help

  My Aurora was bought in 2013, I have no guarantee, I need at least to know if anyone has had or knows what this problem is. I left my computer on at night, I did several times and never had any problems, but this time I was awakened by the high-speed rotating fans. Tired I simply cut off the computer. I wake up the next morning and whenever I try to put on the fan runs at full speed and nothing happens, monitor, keyboard, mouse, nothing. So I unplug the drill rig, hold the power button to do the thing, sorry I forgot what it's called. This time he lights up for a split second then turns off. I know that's not the power supply cause I tested it. I tried to do the reset cmos and nothing thing. Someone please before considering anyone I would at least like to know what the problem is. Thanks in advance.

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora still on R4

  Can you damage your system, especially the motherboard and the capacitors power if you let this computer on too long? Reference Dell told me, but I have a lot of doubts? Supposedly, I have damaged my motherboard in doing so.

  I thank very you much for your comments. So basically what Dell told me (I've supposedly damaged my motherboard and some capacitors leaving him for too long for my specific hardware) is simply wrong?

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R4 - 6 beeps, no video card

  Hi all

  I'm having a pretty rough week. I do a lot of PC gaming and this week my machine failed on me.

  Under the assumption that I still had warranty, I called Dell. I told them I had 6 beeps, and which would normally be the video card.

  • I replaced the video card, tried two cards into the two slots that they would fit in, with food... still 6 beeps.
  • I have reset the CMOS
  • Reinstall RAM
  • Disconnected all powers components on motherboard and peripheral, and I still get 6 beeps.

  This makes me believe that it is either the motherboard or its power supply.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

  TL; DR below:

  I was told that my computer was no longer under warranty and to call to get an extended warranty. 350 + dollars later... I call the next day and told me that I can't use my warranty because the problem arose before I had the warranty.

  I've been upset about it, fine, picks me up at the Department I pay so it can be corrected. I hung up at least 4 times, and I keep getting transferred to the wrong Department...

  I tried to call Dell warranty... They transfer me Alienware that tells me an e-mail:

  [email protected]
  ... which is not a valid mailbox and who orders me:
  [email protected]
  ... that I get no response...
  I just want to help...

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R3 / water damage / the amount of memory has changed... Problem

  Hi all

  Last night, I spilled water on top of my alienware desktop computer. I quickly shutdown, unplugged and held head down for awhile. First time I turned it back on, it gave me the "amount of memory has changed, but none has been added" problem. I went through system troubleshoot (F5 I think) and had everything to the point where it asks if you want to continue for 30 minutes. I skipped that and restarted. Second time I turned on my computer, it loaded all regularly, logged into my account, desktop screen with files, etc. Then he went straight to the screen of closing and began to beep, in the explosion of two. Whenever I try to start, stuck to the error page "the amount of memory" with two beeps.

  I tried a few searches and it seems it could be a motherboard problem, I'm not sure. I would like to email technical support, but it seems impossible without active coverage? (Mine is is no longer active).

  My question is, is it sounds like a problem of motherboard and if so, how can I replace it in my office? Where to get the part, etc.

  Thank you for your useful answers.

• (Redirected) Dell Alienware Aurora R3 R4 upgrade

  I have a Dell Alienware Aurora R3 and thought of installing a new R4 motherboard, processor, memory and liquid cooling assembly. Should be physically in terms of wiring, the ports and connectors on the back panel? The Master i/o board is different about R3 vs the R4? Look at the options to deal with the lack of compatibility of Windows 10 and the Aurora R3. Thank you

• (Redirected) Is it bad start for Alienware Aurora R4 (UEFI, legacy) mode?

  Recently, I made the stupid mistake of updating my bios as bios 5 to 12 because I get a new graphics card soon and heard that you must update the bios first. As planned, it was wrong and it crashed when rebooting and all-day was stuck at a black screen when starting my PC saying to choose the priority of seed or something.

  Finally, I tried everything to do in F12 menu, I decided to spend the boot mode in the UEFI to legacy. He actually began after doing this and luckily my hard drive is intact, but he had some interesting things that I noticed. First of all, my HARD disk space seems to decrease slightly as I realized to my PC. Second, there was weird stuff with Alien Autopsy (not really, but it has an error message). Also it could run a little bit slower. Hard to say. It starts more slowly as well. Then, change the dangerous startup parameters, or I made the right choice? Or I just ruin my PC today?

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4 running any Windows 7.

• 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.

  I 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

  to 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.).
