Even Alienware's are vulnerable to the clutches of porn viruses.

Your problem is you bought an Alienware

For the same ammount of money... i could of built you a computer.... THAT WORKS XD sorry had to... but tell us the issue first.

[H2O Portalair]

not that lol. well occasionally when i try to turn it on apparently it pops the circuit. Don't know if it's the pc or the house. It sometimes doesn't break the circuit sometimes it does.

[Woden]

Are you running the pc direct from the mains or though a surge peotecting strip or better yet a UPS

[Vixen.]

I fix PCs for a living, what's up?

Your problem is you bought an Alienware

Exactly the point... :/

You spent too much money on an outdated system :/


I hope you can find someone to help solve your issue! I was recently looking for a gaming computer and ran across Alienware. Doesn't sound like a common issue I researched though. GL

Since noone was here to actually help this issue and since it was not posted as per resolved(though yes it's true, never ever ever ever buy a prebuilt, much less a "gaming computer"), the problem is not the pc.... The problem, at least from what you have mentioned, is you are overloading the circuit breaker and circuit that the outlet is connected to, thus the tripping of the breaker.

This can be fixed by simply determining the wiring in the house and the circuit breaker amps. If you have a 15amp breaker, grab a 20 or 30amp and install, that should solve the issue :)

H2O sobe is Right what you can do is try switching to a different outlet on a different circuit or lower the load you are putting on the circuit by moving other plugs to other outlets with a different circuit.

Yeah, this is less of a PC problem and more of a household electrical issue. Sobe is right. Find out which breaker it's on, and swap it out for one with a higher amperage. (Just don't electrocute yourself in the process.)

I hope you can find someone to help you solve your problem! Recently I was looking for a team game and ran through Alienware. Does not sound like a common problem investigated however.

H2O sovereign right is what we can do is try switching to another outlet on a circuit different or lower the load you are putting in the circuit moving stoppers for other points of sale with a different circuit.
