Hi dinkx11‌,

The Alienware™ Alpha (ASM100) features power button LED codes that can be used as diagnostic indicators. The table below illustrates the LED code description.

Power Button LED Pattern Fault Description Fault(s)
1
Motherboard: BIOS ROM failure
Motherboard, BIOS corruption or ROM error
2
Memory
No memory/RAM detected
3
Motherboard: Chipset
Motherboard, chipset error, clock failure, gate A20 failure, super I/O failure or keyboard controller failure
4
Memory
Memory/RAM failure
5
RTC power failure
CMOS battery failure
6
Video BIOS
Video card/chipset failure

So, looks like a memory problem, try by resetting it.
