    Alienware M17x not able to boot well

    I am having an issue with my Alienware M17x laptop. The problem is that it is not able to boot up well. When I try to boot the system the LED glows but there no BIOS screen on the start up as it do not show up anything. I have no idea what could have caused the problem. Other than that I tried a lot of things to get rid of the issue but was not successful. Please do help me out so that I can make work well with the same. It is been installed with Windows XP.

    It could be that the RAM is not working properly or may have some issue. You need to replug the RAM by removing it and then check for the same. I hope this will really help you out well for getting the issue to be sorted. It could be that that memory is not able to read and hence the BIOS is not able to start. So get it worked well or check for the motherboard by cleaning it well.
