Alienware not working
I need help fixing my Alienware laptop at the moment firstly I can see that the power button blinks red 3 times then 1 blue which I believe means that it has a CMOS battery problems. Secondly when I try boot it up it just turns off with a click noise before you can go into the F12 menu or it just doesn’t display the screen and turns off with a different noise and then without me pressing the power button it just tries to turn on again. Thirdly I must click the power button several times before it turns on. Lastly when I finally get it up and running after a random amount of time it turns off. I have already looked around several posts but I just wanted to make sure I knew what was not working and also it seems the problems I have are several compiled together.
What specific Alienware Laptop model? DELL-Admin

Did you change the cmos battery? Only $2 and available in any store. See your manual. You should always include your exact model name and number when posting.

The system model is Alienware 17 R5. I’m not entirely sure why but the power button has stopped indicating a CMOS problem but the other issues still persist.
