Hello I have been having trouble upgrading my CPU on my Alienware Aurora R4, here are my specs
Processor: Intel i7 920 2.6GHz
Memory: 32GB
Hard Drive: 550 SSD +1 TB
Power Supply:875 Watt
I've updated my BIOS to the most current version for my board which is a MS-7591 Version 1.0 with the most current BIOS being A011. After updating I attempted to install the new CPU and after restarting the computer does not display anything but sounds like it started correctly. I have not been able to find out why this is happening or that perhaps the board cannot be upgraded to a Intel i7 990x though I have read elsewhere that it can. Also I do not know if their is a setting in the BIOS that must be changed prior to installation but for now I'm out of ideas.
