Aurora ALX Reboots itself
Hi all,
my Alienware ALX, reboot itself so often i can't count.
It can happen after an hour, like a couple of minutes. Initially i tought was high performance game requirements caused reboots, like Assassin's Creed II...
But i experienced even after starting IE8, o or watching youtube, gametrailers.com, etc..
Note: i have reinstalled Win7 64 3 months ago, or so. I run Security Essential, no virus detected.
Thx for all.

* Open the side cover and push on all cables, cords, cards, ram. Was anything loose?
* Replace the side cover
* Connect only the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor to the PC rear USB ports
* Power the monitor and PC on. Test it

Hi,
i have disconnected all cables but mouse, keyboard, video, speaker, and checked inside. Seems to work fine now. I'm going to re-connect an Western Digital HD by Firewire. I'll tell you soon. Thanks.
