  1. Alienware X51 R1 not booting / can’t update bios


    I upgraded from the stock gtx 555 to the 1050ti, upon booting it displays the alienware splash screen and has a small window to enter key strokes for boot loder /setup but wont actually enter them or continue to load windows. it gives a single beep at a regular ~15sec interval.


    Im assuming this is a bios conflict (curently A03)


    I tried updating through dell website and the A06 or A07 requests i restart the application when I attemp to run it. Lower than hat states the driver failed. A14 starts but then says to run A06/07. I attempted to use rufus and load them from bios but it skips over my USB


    i have confirmed the card is not bad, i have confirmed it is not a psu issue. I also uninstalled the gtx555 drivers and downloaded the 1050ti for instal prep.


    Im not sure what else to do...(currently windows 10)

    :)

    Alienware Area 51 m15x BIOS Update Released

    If you were among the group of people experiencing overheating issues with your Alienware Area 51 m15x laptop, then there are some good news for you. A new BIOS update, version X29b P3A30 is now available. The update allegedly allows VGA fans to increase up to 5400 rpm and thus better cool the GPU. To obtain the new BIOS, you'll need to email the m15x support line (L: Area51_m15x@alienware.com). In reply you should receive a link to the BIOS .zip archive. Once you download the small file, Alienware recommends to follow the steps described in the Read full story marker.



    Open Nero Ultra Edition, click Backup, and then click “Burn Image to Disc.” Next, select the file “m15x_x29b.iso from the unzipped folder.

    • Plug your AC adapter in
    • Disconnect all third-party peripherals
    • Don’t turn off the computer or restart it during the update
    • Don’t eject your DVD/Blu-ray drive during the update.
    Steps:
    • Open BIOS by tapping F12 during boot
    • Set BIOS to boot from your CD-ROM drive first
    • Save and exit
    • Upon reboot, the BIOS flash update will proceed
    • Click “Yes” through the prompts
    • Restart

    Alienware X51 R1 not booting / can’t update bios

    Cannot see or access bios Alienware x51 mid 2012

    Hi,

    My Alienware x51 originally came with Windows 7 and Bios, however I updated to Windows 10 and updated Bios from Dell website and then enabled the UEFI option.

    For some unknown reason I no longer see any alienware boot screen, which previously allowed me to access the bios/uefi menu. I need to access it but do not seem to be able to access the bios/uefi menu. The computer just shows a complete black screen as if
    no computer was connected. The only time windows 10 work seems to be after waiting for a couple of minutes before powering it on. Restarting the pc gives the complete black screen with no signal detected. Any advise would be welcome.

    I would also like to know the recommended settings for uefi with windows 10, is it recommended to enable secure boot, and standard boot, also the legacy compatible should be turned on ?

    Regards,

    Carlos
