Aurora R10, system board failure?
I have tried a lot and replaced the cmos battery and tried moving the memory card and nothing, I also tried looking into the power supply nothing, only thing I haven’t tried is buying a new board, any other ideas?

yes, I know . . . still trying to extract information. I don't want to be making assumptions and guessing.

It’s a r10 and before I was playing on it and shut it off by power button because my monitor started acting up and I left it alone woke up and it started acting like this also it’s a 2,1 flash white light

Monitor starting to act up could point to a video card failure.

Make sure your graphics card is securely seated and locked in the slot.
Disconnect power from the PSU, hold the power button in for 30 seconds, take out all for your RAM modules, reconnect power and try to boot with no RAM installed. The diagnostic blink code should change to a 2-blink pattern if your motherboard is functioning properly.

Very peculiar that a monitor issue would cause a 2:1 diagnostic blink code.

@ProfessorW00d My Aurora R10 (Ryzen 7 3700X) does not boot and the power button flashes 2 then 1. How it all happened. I changed the RAM to a one 32gb stick and from there it wouldn't boot up. Heard a spark and white light trying to boot and after it won't even try to power on. Only reason I see the flash is because I press power button at the same time as I press the back test button. Other than that the test button is the only thing that powers the Fans and GPU .... I changed everything back and did all the steps on here and to no resolution

@Spaniard848 A spark flash is never good news. Try taking out all of your RAM. Boot up with no RAM installed and see if you get the 2 blink pattern . . . no RAM detected. If you do, it might mean that your motherboard is still functioning.

What is the back story . . . which Alienware do you have? What were you doing right before it stopped working? What makes you think it is a system board failure? The more information the better we can help.
