Problem with Alienware Aurora R10 and Ryzen processor Issue details of the Ryzen integration on this gaming PC
I previously replaced another RAM module in the PC with the original one, but the issue continued. I completed several diagnostic checks and everything seems to be working now, which is confusing. The PSU appears to be functioning properly overall, though I’m still unsure about the reset procedure. This problem only appeared after I performed the reset, so I’m questioning whether I did it correctly or not.
It seems the problem is likely related to PSU or MB, though MB might be more troublesome. Before you start repairs, try using a spare drive, fresh Windows install, and only Valorant to check for drive failures. For power button issues, it probably points to a power supply fault rather than a button problem. You might also test the R10 with a standard PSU—possibly with some modifications—and see if the crashes stop.
I’m trying to figure out if the issue isn’t related to the motherboard. Over the last couple of weeks it seems the system checks media twice before starting normally, which hasn’t happened before. I’m considering the power outlet might be faulty since the monitor had problems earlier—like flickering lights and trouble turning on. I might move her setup to a different location to test. Also, after a thorough clean yesterday, a lot of dust was removed, which lowered temperatures by around 20°C. The GPU could be hotter sometimes, reaching up to 104°C. I played a few Valorant matches today and haven’t seen any crashes yet, though they’re still unpredictable.
Sure, I'm here to help. It sounds like you're dealing with a similar problem with your Alienware R10. Have you discovered a complete fix without needing repairs? Any tips or guidance would be appreciated!
