x51 3 beeps
So I have never had this problem until the power went out during a storm like 2 weeks ago. I can't turn the system off or it will do 3 beeps for a few days. I have no warranty. What should I do?

I would be a bit concerned in your case. It sounds, based on the beeps, as if it indicates a motherboard chipset failure.
This article may be of help
However, I would recommend contacting Alienware support about the matter. One key issue is that while the system may only be having issues after being shut off, the issues will likely continue and becomemore severe. It is best to find the problem and correct it now before other issues begin to arise.
