Hi all,

Recently, I tried to update my BIOS as Dell recommended but ended up crashing my Alienware 51. Now when I try to start up I can't even get to POST. All that happens is that the system starts beeping continuously (single beep) after about ten to fifteen seconds. Monitor is not receiving video feed and remains blank although both my video cards are getting power. Based on what I've seen/heard/asked around, it looks like my motherboard might be the issue. However, I'd like to get some expert opinion prior to going out and grabbing a new motherboard. Or maybe there's an easy fix I'm missing? I've already tried the usual troubleshooting methods of turning off and on, unplugging and reseating connections.

Thanks for any and all help!
