Did formatted the whole hard drive when you reinstall windows, and did you install all the drivers that the system needs?

what dell  update are you referring to that damaged this?

when you reinstalled windows did you reinstall alienware command center and OSD(on screen  display) also  did  you update windows before attempting to install Alienware command center otherwise it failes without Netframework install (3.5 or   better) , this needs to be installed prior to above drivers ..

if  you  did so did you download current drivers from dell or  from  drivers on a backup cd?

did you  install drivers atall other then the windows cd?

It's done, but no result

Hard drive:  formated

Update Bios: Done

New windows 7 64bits: ok

Lights: Off

I do not understand the answer (are your an hardware expert), the problem is not the hard drive but the motherboard (and you know I'm not the first to whom it happens, I think)

But, thank you very much for your help, any advice is good
