SuperMG3 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hello. I got a new CPU, intel core i7 4930MX. It booted fine then I went to the BIOS and set the Extreme Edition to enabled. I didn't play with the frequency, I just set for long TDP 50W and short 65W. I don't understand why it doesn't boot, it just lights up, HDD spins but nothing on screen. I tried to reset the CMOS, by pressing the power button for 30 seconds. Help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMG3 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Removed RAM = 2 beeps Removed CPU = 7 beeps Replaced the CPU with the original i7 4700MQ in hope to disable extreme edition, still the same blackscreen. But when I remove the CMOS battery, it doesn't beep 5 times, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMG3 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 (edited) Lol guys. It works. It was a BIOS problem. Glad I did a backup of my BIOS. Guys do not mess with Alienware 2011-2014 BIOSes! I'll use XTU for changing TDP. If you want a clean BIOS backup or an unlocked BIOS backup to unbrick your laptop using SOIC8 flash, private message me!

Tenoroon Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I cannot remember if one was created for the 18 R1's, but there might be an unlocked BIOS somewhere on the NBR archives, you might benefit from flashing that. If you plan on tuning your system a bunch, I suggest you purchase a hardware BIOS flasher. They are cheap, and can get you back up on your feet if you brick your machine.
