Alienware 17 memory issues

Good day,

I have bought a new Alienware 17, I'm having some problems that points to memory issues:

-Lasting to much starting up, sometimes I have to restart the computer to get it right because it gets stuck

-The first time I did a system autopsy several parts of the test failed and the system crashed  (blue screen)

-I refresh the system and try againg with the autopsy, the normal test went fine but the stress test failed big time.

-Some blue screens that I investigate later and shows there is a memory problem

Your good comments will be greatly appreciated.

Currently I have a Windows 8

    Hi Daniel Dompe,

    I would suggest you to perform hardware diagnostics outside the system by following the steps below and reply with the findings.
    1. Turn on or restart the computer.
    2. Immediately at the Dell/Alienware logo screen, starting tapping the key once a second until the One Time Boot menu appears (if the computer boots to Windows turn the computer off and try again).
    3. At the One Time Boot menu, press the arrow key to highlight Diagnostics, PSA+ or Enter ePSA, then press to begin the hardware Diagnostics.
    4. Write down any error codes listed. Reply with the error codes.

    Also, Please let me know on which stress test the diagnostics are failing.

    Hello Ravi Ch,

    After a few days of tests, let me sum this up a bit:

    -Memory stress test failed:  Advanced Pattern Test    Failed   WME02-IM7

    I have also received blue screens for Bad Pool Header, Memory Management.

    As for the tests performed under F12 during boot I had no error codes, everything turn out just fine.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Hi Daniel Dompe,

    It looks like there is an issue with the memory on the system. Please send me a private message with the computer's service tag, Name registered during the system purchase and email address so that I can check what can be done.
