(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.

  • Council MIO for Alienware Aurora R4

    I have an Alienware Aurora R4 with a case ALX end of 2011 that I need to replace the motherboard.

    Will be the motherboard MSI Micro-ATX with a work of processor I7 - 4790K to replace a motherboard case Alienware aurora ALX and maintain my light and fans

    Dale Hey, I'm on a lunch break, only have a minute. Some CmndCntr old versions can go on a non-Aurora mthrbrd, other more recent versions cannot. Not easy though.

    There are two options because your old mthrbrd cannot be used:

    • Just start in the new mthrbrd with the hard drive, you now who has CmndCntr on this
    • then, uninstall the old software/drivers & install new drivers Z97 etc.
    • That's what we know that re-use of your hard drive / windows install in order to keep CC

    Another option: install an older version of CmndCntr as 2.08.09 that installs on any mthrbrd, but could get glitch with W8 and W10. Ok?

    If your Aurora mthrbrd have always worked? you wanted to give your new mthrbrd a clean installation of Windows & a newer version of CmndCntr? Well, you install a new mthrbrd, pure install windows etc, then a 3rd option, a last resort is then reinstall your old mthrbrd (work) in your case just long enough to install CmndCntr, take that back, install new MB again and that passing your new MB has a newer version of CC on the hard drive, it could then use :

    • old MB is used to pass the software block that prevents installation on a non-Aurora

    All old versions of CmndCntr without a stop block to the 2.08.09 version

    All newer versions which have a block: 2.08.11 / 3.5.x / 3.6.x

    If you now 2.08.11 or 3.5 or 3.6 installed hard disk, I guess a last way to keep this most recent version of the CC on your hard drive - still make a clean windows install for your new mthrbrd - is to do the type of installation where windows keeps your latest files and folders and programs etc., this way CC can remain on the disk. I only did this, but it might work.

    For someone who had a mthrbrd of work, while he was still in the case, they could install the latest / last / latest versions 1, then remove what he & mthrbrd new install, do the overlay install 7/8, CC to keep the disk hard drive etc... all this makes sense? I'm in a bit of a rush here...

  • Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

    Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

    But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

    partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

    And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

    Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?

    Thanks, Saucybagel

    P.S. I moved here instead of "office computer Forums (Audio, General Hardware, video) ' as advised.

    P.P.S. well, positions of copied it exceeds in any case, I don't know if I can move, heh

    Hello

    Yes, the 8 GB will work on the slot XMM3.

  • What UPS for Alienware Aurora R4?

    Anyone has any ideas on what would be the right kind of UPS for an Alienware Aurora R4? My understanding is that, to calculate the (approx.) VA required, you multiply the AMPS of POWER. The label on the back of the R4 says 7.9 amps, and voltage is 230. Allowing also to 24 "display (1.5 a) = 9,4 x 230 = 2162 going

    Spec as follows: Core i7 3930 k at 3.9 GHz, 16 GB Ram, 1 x 660 GTX (1.5 GB), sound card Creative, Win7 64 bit, 24 '' Dell screen.

    The PC only will be not clocked at full load probably almost all the time (did ever?), so I was watching an of these: http://www.criticalpowersupplies.co.uk/idialog-ups-1600va-idg-1600

    When UPS cuts inside is not necessary to maintain the PC while 5 minutes long, would probably be plenty. Long enough to turn electricity back and resume normal operations or if the electricity is back, no time to turn off the PC.

    Is this any way to measure the amount of energy of the PC is usually to help. I don't know what the R4 feeding efficiency index, but it is 875 watts.

    Someone else with a R4 has experience of this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sphinxy,

    Alienware Aurora R4 system are delivered with 875 Watt Multi-GPU approved Power Supply. Therefore, you can use any UPS between 1200VA to 2000VA depending on usage. The UPS you provide can be used.

    There is no way to measure the power of the computer as sent with this computer power is at maximum power.

  • Rams of upgrade issues for Alienware Aurora R3

    I have an Alienware R3 with 8 GB of ram 1333 MHz! I can it switch to 16 GB of ram 1600 MHz? If Yes, then which is the good rams for this situation?

    The Aurora R3 system uses 1333 MHz, 1600 MHz XMP and 1866 MHz DDR3 XMP of unbuffered SDRAM.
    And the CAP for the RAM is indeed 16 GB.
    Personally, I recommend this one.

  • Alienware aurora r3 question

    I bought a r3 about 4 years ago and I was wondering if I had to take it apart could use all internal parts it is the motherboard, gpu, etc. in another case or is there a problem with the motherboard being only for alienware aurora r3

    It should work, but why? It's just a little tip mATX $150... not really worth going. It is MSI-clone with custom Dell BIOS.

  • A start-up ware Alienware Aurora ALX

    I bought an Alienware Aurora earlier this spring and have noticed that it takes a long time to start.  From the time I hit my power button, until all the icons on my screen are visible and able to work, it takes anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes.

    I can see my desktop in 3-5 minutes, but due to other processes that I can click on Firefox and nothing won't happen for a few more minutes.

    When I bought this computer I went with the RAID 0 option.  I had called and told them I wanted an SSD and a different option of RAID, but was told they don't do that.  So, I stuck with the RAID 0 option.  But have always noticed the slow start has been.  What is indigestion of alienware, like thermal controls?  Or something else that makes it so slow?

    I do not support RAID on desktop computers, but it degraded sounds or something.

    IMHO, I'd install SSD 256 GB (or more)... Although I had to clean install. My computer starts (for usable desktop) in about 20 seconds (with 100 process running).

    http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/t/19568143

    Then I would probably break the raid, use a spinner HDD for large game installs and one for data files.

  • 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?

  • (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) 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.
