I would like to upgrade my video card and my power supply if need be.
Alienware x51 r2 power supply failure.
The problem is that it will not power on.
I currently run an upgraded alienware x51 r2 64 bit.
My name is tom and i am working on an alienware x51 r2 for a friend.
But the power supply must be able to handle these demands if not it will put a strain on the components which can result in spontaneous failure.
Alienware x51 r2 power problems i purchased an alienware x51 about half a year ago i don t use it that often but i do leave the computer idle from time to time.

In this video i show how i diagnose and repair a video issue with a alienware x51 r2 computer that came into my shop in savannah ga.
I totally disassembled the pc and verified cables ram power board psu vga ssd and unfortunately i realized that there is a resistance burned on the motherboard.
When the power button is depressed it powers on momentarily spinning the cpu and power board fans but then immediately shuts off.
