Just restored my Alienware x51 back to it's factory standard because of a strange bug. Sometimes my screen freezes causing the sound als to hook as you could say causing a repetition of the same sound. Only way to kind of solve it is by pushing the screen forward a bit at a time but a force needs to be acting on it the whole time. Also when i don't shutdown my pc and it automatically turns off i need to restart it completely or else boot screen stays black... 4 year old alienware, might be the reason. Any ideas? Sorry for sounding like an idiot.
