    Okay so here is the deal This alienware is not under warentee and i am welcome to all possible fixes. That being said the alienware is configured as follows:

    R1
    intel core 2 duo( u7300) at 1.3~1.7 overclock
    nvidia 335M
    4 gb ram
    Bios version A04


    The issue started last night at a friends house. I was on the 2nd account on the computer and installed google chrome. after switching back to my user name(admin) on the computer i noticed it was really bogged down and wasnt accepting many of the commands i tried to get the computer to do. I ran ccleaner removed some files, and one registry issue in a quick attempt to speed the computer back up. After this failed i decided that maybe it just needed a restart. upon booting back up this is what hapened :

    M11x loop - YouTube

    After a few attempts in safe mode, system repair, and starting normally i proceeded to take the laptop apart. I removed the ram and reset it and I removed the battery and let the charge in the laptop dissipate for about 10 minutes. after replacing the battery and ram the issue still persists. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    ~p.s: I can still access f2,f12, and f8 screens. There are no beeps for the ram being set improperly and everything before the actual windows starting works just fine. I would like to not have to reinstall windows that would be a real downer as i have a lot of pictures from family trip ect.
