Alienware Desktop will not boot

I have a Alienware desktop that will not boot, I have no video displayed. I have replaced the motherboard and I am having the same issue. My motherboard is a Intel D945gnt. When I boot the pc I dont have any error on the display or beeping errors. I have attempted to disconnect my hard drive and dvd rom and only left one stick of memory installed to troubleshoot this issue. But still have not figured this out ?

    Thanks for your help. Power supply set to 115v , P4 connector & main connector are both connected to motherboard.

    When I remove the Ram I get (3) long beeps but still no display. Please provide me with some general troubleshooting steps, I am at a lost. What else could cause my system not to boot to post ? Intel has already replaced the motherboard for me.

    I have tested with (2) different monitors and have also attempted to use a pci video card , but still I have no display. Keep in mind this is a new motherboard from intel. I have no error beeps ! What could be causing this ? I have disconnected all other device from pc and now I just have one stick on ram connected to motheboard (dvd rom and hd are disconnected) Thanks for you help again.

    Try a different CPU and make sure the pins aren't bent on your CPU that your using now.

    Does your power supply have the p4 connector on it plus the main connector that goes to the motherboard? If so maybe try connecting both the main connector and the P4 connector to the motherboard and make sure the power supply is set to 115v and NOT 230V

Try removing the RAM as well and see if it beeps...

  • Anonymous Feb 12, 2009

    When you power on the system without a RAM it should give long and continous beep, in that case your motherboard is most probably ok. Try using another RAM. It should work if everything else is fine with the motherboard.



    Good luck!

Alienware Area-51 Desktop won't boot up long beep
The fan to the left of your RAM slots needs to spin, it may be the reason for your problem. If this is the CPU fan then you may have a dead CPU.

Contact a computer technician for repair or claim warranty support.

Take care!

By the sounds of it, you are having an issue with the motherboard. I had a similar issue once and this helped:

-Unplug computer from power source
-Hold the power button for 60 seconds
-Open the case and remove the video card and RAM. Then remove the battery from the motherboard (the small disc type battery)
-Put the battery back in, and reseat the RAM and video card.
-Plug it in and start it up

If this doesn't help, you can also try replacing the battery on the motherboard. Of course, if/when you get to desktop, be sure to update all the important drivers (display, video, bios, etc).

Alienware Aurora Desktop does not boot, has no HD activity
If the activity light on the front of the tower is not glowing than it can be an issue with the power supply of the PC. Try to open the tower and try to reseat the Power supply cables and check.
You can also try to Reseat the RAM (memory) sticks. If you have 2 Memory stick you can just try to boot the pc with the help of one stick and vice versa. If still the issue persist you can try to do a test on the Motherboard. Simply take out the Memory cards and power on the pc . if you hear a beeping noise than the Motherboard is fine and if you dont hear a beeping noise that it is a faulty Motherboard.

Without more detailed information, I really can't help you decipher that code... Since you don't know which specific Foxconn motherboard you're working with, it might be best if you contact Alienware Customer Support for detailed information:
