The best forum to post this in, is the Alienware Owners Club HERE.

shesagordie,

Sorry, I'm confused. I thought this was the alienware club? Because your link seems to direct me to my topic, which seems to be on the website/section "Alienware Club."

Chackan    I have an AURORA, not an X51 so am just forwarding a suggestion seeing as you have had no responses. Worst comes to worst call Dell

Lights flash, Fans ramp up over and over but does not wake up

Try this.     en.community.dell.com/.../19452389.aspx      I have found other sites on the net with posts that are similar, but funny enough not at the Dell Forums. This is a fix I found on-line that worked from awhile back for a different issue, I tried this for my Aurora for not waking from sleep after trying many suggestions posted here about CC and it has resolved my issues. I cannot list a history of .NET Framework downloads because my REPAIR changed all my .Net downloads to the repair date. I'm happy, it worked for me and still works.

Please post your resolution regardless, as that's the only way these Forums are useful for others.

Good Luck.

Hi Chackan,

Usually an issue like this is fixed with a BIOS update. Here's an article on that, try that and let me know how it goes.

Your battery is failing. Replace it and start smiling again. I had the same problem with my Lenovo laptop some years ago and it took forever to figure out that it was a weak battery. Recently, my Alienware laptop began doing the same thing. There's a built in system check with Alienware laptops, and mine passed everything except the battery, which it said was operating at 60% of potential. I replaced the battery with a new one, and the problem is cured.
