I was driving home and Alienware rang me again. They said they had made a mistake by looking at my original configuration from 5 1/2 years ago with an GEFORCE 7950 GX2 1GB instead of the current configuration with the GTX295 in. They have now offered me a GTX 580. I believe this is good news...

Thanks again for all your help. I now own a Geforce 7300 le, cost £10 so I have a spare for future troubleshooting. I had a four year warranty on the Alienware when I purchased it in the pre Dell era, about 3 1/2 years into that the graphics card I had in it failed and it went back to...

Hi, Thanks in advance for any help. Please bear with me for the PSU bit at the end. Yesterday I started getting a "no signal output " message from my monitor. So far I have tried the following: - Second monitor - Different cable into both monitors - HDMI slot on graphics card into both...

Yes it is that motherboard. Am I right that the graphics card I have is pretty good as well. I garnered that information from here but would appreciate confirmation. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-performance-radeon-geforce,3018-7.html

Hi, I'm looking for some advice about whether to upgrade or buy a new system. I've currently got an Alienware Aurora R5 which I purchased in 2006. The system went back to Alienware about 18 months ago and they replaced a bundle of stuff as it was still under warranty which is why I'm unsure...
