The ram is compatiable and I did all the steps. Please help I think I killed my pc
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?
What does the yellow flash 5 times mean
Refer to the service manual on Dell's website. It tells you what all the flash codes mean.

It says 5 times means CMOS battery failure.
It was working fine yesterday woke up and tried to boot up today and it turns on blinks yellow and turns on and it just continues to do it. Any help/ easy fixes ? It says it might be the ram
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?
