Alienware x51 internal hard drive not found
Hello guys, I bought my x51 last month. It was running smoothly and when I was installing a game just 15minutes ago, my pc crashed. So I rebooted it. After start up on the loading bios it say internal hard drive not found. How can I fix this problem? Do I need to s end this back to dell? Why do I have a faulty hardrive? I'm really disappointed about what happened. Please help me tech support.

It's already on UEFI not legacy. I also hear a clicking sound in my CPU. It's still give me the same problems even I put everything on default. This morning i turned it on again and it goes now to windows recover mode and I chose launch start up repair then it would go back to windows recovery still. I really don't know what's going on. I think my hard drive crashed or gave up early.1445

* Restart the system
* At the Dell logo screen press F12
* At the One Time Boot menu, press the Down arrow key to highlight Diagnostics
* Press Enter to begin the Diagnostics

We loaded the operating system using Boot Mode UEFI and if yours somehow changed the Boot Mode to Legacy, you will get the "internal hard disk not found error". Boot into the Bios by restarting the PC and pressing F2. Go into Boot- Boot Mode and change it to UEFI. Press F10 to Save the change.
