Help - AlienFX not working
I recently re-seated both of my GTX580s on my Alienware Area 51 ALX model and the lights and vents have gone haywire since.
When I boot Alien Command Centre, all sensors show [0 degreee celsius] for temperature; [0 RPM] for fans; CPU Pump [failed]. When I go to AlienFX editor, it says that [AlienFX cannot detect this device on your system].
I have ran Alien Autopsy and every test has passed.
What I have observed:
1. The MIO Board has a blinking blue and constant orange light when I switch the machine on.
2. The fans are running at max speed.
3. I'm still able to play my games fine.
I have been trying to run Dell Diagnostics but whenever I try to burn the image, my computer hangs. I have also tried the unplug>dissipate electricity>try again method but to no avail.
Any advice is much appreciated.

I FIXED IT! I took everything out and noticed the USB plug from the MIO board was not plugged in. I must have knocked it out when I was messing with my graphics.
Cheers!

Testing outside Windows with Dell Diags is vital.
Try "burning" to USB Flash drive instead. F12 to boot it.

can you link me the URL to download Dell Diags?
I'm not sure if I'm using the correct one.
