    I'm having the same issue. I've been looking for a solution and haven't seen one yet.

    So basically the computer isn't booting into Windows.
    My best advise at the moment would be to start by running a Preboot-System Assesment.
    In order to perform this, you must start your computer and tap F12 to get into the Boot Manager.
    Near the end of the screen there should be an option that says Diagnostics, PSA, or EPSA.
    Please run the basic test (Without running the Extended Memory test... which takes like half an hour). And tell me what you got.

    I'll await both of your responses.

    It's like the computer freezes towards the end of the post inabling me to hit f12.

    They said a new cpu were required and it would cost around 300$ for cpu alone because the current cpu in alienware x51 is no longer to be bought
