Alienware x51 Shut down and continuous beeping.
Hi All, I have an Alienware x51 (i5 processor, Nvidea 660GPU). Yesterday the computer randomly shut down whilst playing Fallout 4. It restarted itself after a few seconds, and had a continous beep coming from inside. Although it started up, it would not boot. I shut it down, and after repeating this process of turning on and not booting i left it for a bit. When I came back, I laid it on its side, and it ran fine. Today I am having the same issue, but now it is freezing when I try and run games, then I have to shut it down. When I turn it on, it somtimes boots up fine other times it does the no boot and beep thing. Can anyone help with this?

Hello,
Was it making a certain number of beeps and then a pause? Try reinstalling the video card drivers. Uninstall them both from Device Manager first (check the box that says "Delete the driver software" when uninstalling them). Restart the system and install the Intel driver first, restart the system again if it asks after the installation. After this, install the NVidia driver and use this version. When you're done reinstalling both drivers, test the games.
