Brand New Alpha R2 i7 - doing the black screen after update
Hi Guys,
I just bought an Alienware Alpha R2 i7 yesterday.
All was working fine.. until I allowed the computer to update to the newest version of Windows 10 (it came with Windows 10 - i guess it was an update).
I let it do its thing overnight
Tried turning the computer on in the morning, and it goes past the Alienware screen (which lasts a few short seconds), and onto what seems to be an indefinite black screen. I can see the cursor and nothing else.
It appears that this is what the error is.. same problem as the X51? The problem is that the i7 comes with only one HDMI out...no VGA ports or anything like that.
How can i solve this?

Hi,
Try pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if it will open the task-manager. If it opens, go to File/Run and type explorer.exe
If this doesn't work, you'll probably need to reinstall windows.
