    After watching several youtube videos bashing the Alienware Desktops I wasnt even looking at their products. I finally came across several that addressed the case cooling. Mine came with liquid cooling and adding an additional fan more than makes it at a great buy with the specs of this computer on sale for $1899.00.

    I bought this computer looking to do occasional gaming. I might boot it once or twice a week. Every time I play anything it crashes at random times. Do not buy this pc. I’m surprised it even boots. Actually most times it take a recovery bios page to boot the pace because it never posts. I can’t believe Best Buy sells this type of garbage.

      Hi Mike,

      Thank you very much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with your Alienware Aurora R10 gaming computer because it is crashing. Please make sure you have downloaded the latest system update and that software you are using meets all system requirements. I have provided a link to the drivers and downloads page where you can check for any applicable updates.

      Drivers and Downloads page: https://dell.to/3JF6Ky3

      For the issues with crashing, I have provided a link below to help troubleshoot and resolve this issue.
      Resolutions
      1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Pre-boot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA
      2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
      a) Start the computer.
      b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
      c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
      d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
      e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you can resolve the lockups or freezing.
      3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI
      The computer restarts or shuts down intermittently, locks up, stops responding or an error occurs: https://dell.to/3GX6BVf

      If the issue with your computer is still not resolved after utilizing the troubleshooting options above, please contact the Dell Support Team at 1-800-624-9896 for further guidance.

      Best,
      Katarina@Dell

    Do yourself a favor and stay very far from alienware. The PC's are junk, poorly designed, only use dell parts, and customer service is poor. It will be much easier to build your own PC, and you will be able to upgrade it as well. I got an alienware in 2021. Never got it to work properly, waste of 2k.
