Alienware area51 special edition with XP
ok, so my notebook is driving me crazy. this is a top of the line (or at least its supposed to be) gaming computer and it works fine except, the gaming part. I put on dawn of war, played it and while I'm playing it blinking shapes start flashing randomly across the screen, then the screen goes blank and I can't do anything except turn it off(by holding in the power button, don't like doing that) and it won't turn on right away. the leds turn on and then off and it takes a couple tries for it to start.
is this a graphics card problem and what can I do about it? I don't need this computer to die on me or the graphics card to conk out all of the sudden cause I kinda need it for school. |

Re: Alienware area51 special edition with XP
Looks like a graphics card issue but try replacing the RAM with good/working ones first.
