Windows 10: Unable to Boot Alienware Aurora r10 system after update install

Hi all,


Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I just got an aurora r10 a couple of weeks ago. It was time for my first mandatory update and when I tried installing, it did not work and now the pc refuses to boot at all. It seems to cycle through the following error messages and after each says it will restart:


irql_not_less_or_equal

bad_system_config_info

and two others about a kernal mode don't have exact wording for those


After sometimes 20 min of the cycling to "attempt repairs" and restarting I get to the options menu for troubleshooting. I have tried uninstalling the updates both of the options and it says it can't uninstall. I have tried the options to basically wipe the system and it gives an error and cue restart. Finally, I just created a recovery USB for windows 10 and tried that, but while it seems to think about it for ~30 sec, it then gives another error and cycle begins anew.


I am pretty computer illiterate so I really have no idea where to go from here so any help would be appreciated. I also do not care at this point about saving anything, I'll just be happy to see a generic desktop again. Thanks!!

:)

Alienware Area 51 m15x BIOS Update Released

If you were among the group of people experiencing overheating issues with your Alienware Area 51 m15x laptop, then there are some good news for you. A new BIOS update, version X29b P3A30 is now available. The update allegedly allows VGA fans to increase up to 5400 rpm and thus better cool the GPU. To obtain the new BIOS, you'll need to email the m15x support line (L: Area51_m15x@alienware.com). In reply you should receive a link to the BIOS .zip archive. Once you download the small file, Alienware recommends to follow the steps described in the Read full story marker.



Open Nero Ultra Edition, click Backup, and then click “Burn Image to Disc.” Next, select the file “m15x_x29b.iso from the unzipped folder.

• Plug your AC adapter in
• Disconnect all third-party peripherals
• Don’t turn off the computer or restart it during the update
• Don’t eject your DVD/Blu-ray drive during the update.

Steps:

• Open BIOS by tapping F12 during boot
• Set BIOS to boot from your CD-ROM drive first
• Save and exit
• Upon reboot, the BIOS flash update will proceed
• Click “Yes” through the prompts
• Restart

Alienware Aurora-R3 & Windows 10

When you have windows 10 installed there is another trick which fixes the fans and makes the Command Center work with my Alienware Aurora R3 when the fans are at 100% and the Command Centre shows no control over fans...

Open your Aurora R3, near the front of the Alienware R3 you will see the SISTER motherboard (smaller than the main) which controls the fans. Unplug the 4 pin power cable with a white thick plastic connector(it may seem stuck and hard to pull out but try
to do it CAREFULLY WITH THE POWER CABLE DISCONNECTED), then power up the Windows 10 Aurora R3 with the sister board unpowered. Then when in windows 10 (the fans should be at 100%), shut down via the software and re-plug the power cable to the Sister motherboard
controlling the fans, enter the Windows 10 again and the fans should be stable and Control Centre should allow you control on the fans either manual or auto.

There was another way I got the fans down from 100% but only recommended as a last resort if you don't want to tamper with the hardware, (it can mess up the operating system and it goes into auto repair where it prompts you to re-install windows 10 - don't
go for the re-install option, restarts and different options fix it always eventually)... you go into sleep mode on windows 10 aurora r3, then when it is in sleep mode power down and power up, the fans MAY normalise, it is hit or miss.

There is also an options in Windows System Admin regarding the fans cannot remember where but you will see it somewhere under power management I think under the Aliwnware FX setting, I cannot remember the proper disable or enable setting that is should be
either it's been so long.
