x51 beeping on startup
My x51 has been freezing the last week or so and requiring a hard restart. It happened again this morning but when I restarted it, it just beeped continuously and wouldn't restart. What do I do? I recently had a tech out here to replace the video card to solve previous freezing problems.

One continue beeping is a code that let us know that something is wrong with the motherboard and it might need to replace however you can try to reset the cmos battery maybe after that the system turns back on and you will be able to troubleshoot further.

I was able to get it turned on. What should I do to find out if there is a problem with the motherboard?

You can run a PSA diagnostic; as well you can check on the system temperatures however if this happens again it will be better to replace the motherboard.

I ran the PSA diagnostic and there was no error. This has started happening again. The computer will freeze for no apparent reason. Then I have to do a hard shutdown and when I try to restart it beeps. I have to keep trying till it decides to start up. In the Alien Autopsy, it just says the system shutdown unexpectedly.

And now I just got the blue screen of death and it froze again on restart. Can someone from Dell please PM me so I can get this figured out?
