Solved!
Go to SolutionAlienware M14x R2 Boot Problems
I'll just cut to the chase.
Upon booting, my laptop gives me the following message:
Check cable connection.
PXE=MOF Exitting Intel PXE ROM
NO Boot Device Found
I have run diagnostics, and it has reported a "healthy machine."
Edit: Called customer service and need to have the hard drive replaced.

Usually means it can't find a bootable hard-drive (with Windows properly installed) ... so it's trying to boot from network instead.
