Idek whats going on I’m lost i think its something with the tam but I’ve moved them around to check and nothing has changed its still blinking
After trying to turn on my pc it doesn’t turn on but it does emits one yellow blinking light every 5 seconds. My power supply is getting power because the green light lights up when I press the button on the back. I researched the diagnostic codes and according to the website it means “bios and rom failure”. I took it to the shop and they had it up and running immediately. My computer was working fine after that for a few days and then it started messing up again by not Turning on and blinking one yellow light again. I haven’t took it back to the shop because I managed to get it back up and running a few times on my own, But do anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue ? Idk what’s causing this is happen. And what does bios and rom failure means?

Hey everyone.
My Aurora R9 needs some TLC I guess. I went to the Windows update center and downloaded some new updates/firmware. Needed a restart so I did that. Booted back up and came to the Alienware splash screen with the words "Please wait while we install the update" below. Waited for just a few minutes and then it shutdown. Now I got the Alienware head on the system itself blinking yellow 4 times, followed by a short pause, then blinking 4 times again. I haven't touched it yet.
What do you guys think?
i haven’t been used this pc in almost over an year, it worked fine before, last thing i touched on it was the ram, but i placed it back in the right spot. now when i booted up it flashes 4 times, and i also dont know which of the 3 black cables goes to the graphics card. any help is appreciated 🤘
I need to fix this asap if possible someone plz help
My cpu was spiking to 100 degrees Celsius when playing games which was odd, so I decided to try and repaste. Once I did that I tried plugging it back in, but now it turns on for a few seconds then gives me 3 yellow blinking lights on the power button and shuts off. I checked the diagnostic lights on the Alienware website and it says 3 blinking lights system board or chipset error.
Do I have to replace the CPU or motherboard? Also, My warranty finished. Has anyone else experienced this?

It is possible when you unplugged the cooler, you plugged the pump in the fan control and fan control into the pump. I personally did the same thing on my r10 because the plugs are questionably labeled. Also it is possible the cpu pump has failed and is not circulating fluid. You can feel the tubes to see if they are warm when the cpu spikes to 100c. The 2 blinks then 1 blink is incredibly common and can be caused by seemingly anything . My r10 functions A1, but has been blinking since day one. Turning on then quickly over heating to the point it shuts off is a sign of no cooler flow.
Before heading to bed I turned off the lights and noticed a lashing light on back of my aurora r11.
Anyone know what the heck this is / means?
Hiya all,
Any help or direction would be gratefully received.
As per title, amber light flashing four times. I turned on the PC this morning and couldn't boot. Nothing has been changed hardware wise, no updates just the 4 flashing lights.
I have completed a power drain and nominally checked the RAM is in properly, by opening the chassis and giving each stick a good push.
Any thoughts?
