Alienware bootup/ restarts after frezzing on installing new bios

I never had any crashing or anything untill my pc froze installing those bios i know its not a hardware prob or i hope its not its the Desktop btw

Sounds like it's bricked.

Pretty common problem when you try to do it inside Windows   ... 50/50 chance of bricking. Just search forums.

These might help. Read carefully.

tonyalienware,

Is the Dell warranty still good on your Aurora? Send me the service tag number via private message and I can check. Were you told by Dell Technical Support to load Bios A10?

no i wasnt told but a while back i updated my bios without a problem this time i think someone was runing in the back ground to crash the update and i had to hard restart then after that it kept power cycling    =((((((

OK after another 10+ hour reading on the net i found out that u can download bios files to ubs and upload them to the bios BUT i  only read that using M11xR1 look over the 1st post plz here forum.notebookreview.com/.../572239-m11x-r1-bios-recovery-guide.html now is there anyway i can do something like this on my aurora desktop???? i have the A11 bios on a flash drive from dell website but dont have a END key or end on my power cord that sounds more like laptop funtions so if u can find a why to upload the bios from flashdrive to my pc plz help

BTW my pc  is still power cycling no with no montior picture so no way to go into bios or anything thru windows =(

OK after another 10+ hour reading on the net i found out that u can download bios files to ubs and upload them to the bios ... is there anyway i can do something like this on my aurora desktop????

Seriously ??? I guess you didn't bother following the links I posted the other day

so u saying i got to get a NEW mobo ALL BC of those bios files form the DELL WEBSITE bricked  my alienware and now i got to play $250 for something thats not my fault im not happy that problem should be funded by Dell themself bc im sure not paying for that even tho my warranty is up

trust me i did that way before i made a account here to wait on answers im not about to wait weeks to get my alienware back better yet pay 250 for a known error from their part everywhere i read they tried to UPDATE BIOS pc crashed now pc is bricked dosnt sound like it was my fault all i want to do is keep my 1.2k$ PC up to date but now its ruin and i only fix i see is for alienware laptops not desktop

plz dont tell me bad bio files will ruin my hardware like ram and such NEVER ever had anyone crashes or anything with this pc and had it for 2 years i will try each stick of ram again working on my pc for 80% of the day when i didnt do anything but click install on bios FROM THE DELL WEBSITE.

Sorry tesla for over reading your post i see what u where saying BUT at the point of time anything i read about me having to send my pc in or pay 200-500$ i didnt not want to believe it breaks my heart =( i was thinking now alienware is so high tech why doesnt it have back up bios ? it had to be a work around but i guess not its up to chris now i guess.

not to sound ignoring but i need my pc for school i just started last week now im pc less and this is my next door friend laptop and no telling how long i can use it. I intsalled all my LET ME CHECK DELL SITE TO SEE IF anything i have out of date that will help keep my pc running smooth for school then BAM i have no PC. im unlucky that i got the 50% out of 100 for this problem and the timming for it is even worst. what kind of graphic designer that doesnt have a high end pc? wow i hate this laptop deletling words that i type but i was saying i INSTALLED my school programs and wanted to update my pc so it would run at top speed and checked and saw that my bios was out of date not knowing it had a risk.

Sorry for my Bad typing been a LONG DAY and really Tired  and this old laptop is not helping =D just want my BABY-ALIEN BACK

tonyalienware,

The Dell policy is pretty clear...

Problem = The Dell System Bios update failed rendering the motherboard CMOS corrupt. Now the system is in a no post state.

Discussion = If you are outside the warranty period and loaded the System Bios update without any direction from Dell Technical Support, you must purchase a replacement motherboard and replace it yourself. You will need to call Dell Spare Parts 1-800-357-3355 and ask for prices and availability. Provide to them the following part number: 92JYY

You can also buy a used one.
