Pc keeps crashing.

i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but my pc keeps crashing. Im useing two monitors and they both disconnect and then my pc makes a weird sound and then nothing happens (The pc is still on i just can see anything and its still making the sound.) so i turn my pc off and on and it works again. This has happened twice in 2 days.

    Hi, 

    To better assist you, please confirm your Alienware model name/revision. Also, how are you connecting your monitors?

    Kinda weird i'm actually using a monitor AND just a tv. The monitor is connected using a VGA cable and the TV is connected with a HDMI cable. I've had my pc setup like this for about 6 months with no problems but in the last couple of days this has happened. Thanks friend :) 

    PS - I have a Alienware x51 R2

    Hello, 

    Thank you for confirming this. Try reinstalling the video card drivers, both the Intel and NVidia/AMD drivers. Click here for the Intel driver download link. For the NVidia/AMD driver, use the latest one from their website. If you are not sure how to find it, confirm which video card you are using and we will provide you with the link.

    Hi, 

    Can you confirm if the sound may be coming from the video card?
