Unplug.. reseat ram and video card. make sure the cooler is tight on the cpu socket. If cooler moved, cpu may be misaligned.
I have the same case, liquid cooling etc but 13700 cpu. Owned 1.5 years and it works great. No issues. The liquid cooling and 1000w power supply are great upgrades. Wish it had more than 2 ram slots. Also only has 2 m.2 ssd slots but they are x4 full bandwidth.
Bought this from the last deal that was posted on here. Received it last Monday and as of this morning my pc won't even boot up. It is stuck on the Alienware screen. Can't even access their bios.

Does this have built-in Wi-Fi? I don't see any wireless antenna outputs on the back.
its literally on the product configuration page. Wifi 7 Intel BE200, and you can upgrade on an additional port as well.

I wish I knew enough to know if this was a good deal and solid hardware to last a while.
I'm waiting for the 5070 Super and 5080 Super to release and hopefully everything will be more reasonably priced. If you NEED a gaming PC right now it seems like a good deal to me.

Would you happen to know if it's built into the motherboard, or if it's a separate PCIe card that can be removed?

Only thing you need to upgrade in the next 5-6 years is the GPU

I know you've had a lot of responses on this, but if those haven't worked to fix your problem, try booting with one stick of RAM only. If it boots, let it load completely, shut down and add in the other RAM stick and change the timings in the bios back to xmp settings.

ONE TB drive for a beefed up machine like this? Ridiculous. STOP this insanity. A 2TB drive should be the absolute minimum.

they "may" or "can". i have read about it in their terms, but usually they are approved. If someone recently got both to work, i will go for this configuration today. Lets see if someone can confirmI ordered monitor 3 days back, its in pending state. I hope it does not drop after few days. The return times are much earlier before these cashback get confirmation
It'll probably be a while... my experience: bought a xps in november 2024, cashback was in pending until I finally got it mid february 3 months later. I contacted support to ask and they said they were waiting for Dell to confirm the purchase, so I'm inclined to believe what people are saying about the return window

There's 2 slots for ram. If I choose 64gb of ram, will they(dell) use both slots and add 2x32gb sticks of ram or will they only use 1 slot and add 1 X 64GB stick?

I want to upgrade to 128gb ram later using 64gb of ram in each slot.

There are two slots. Crucial sells a 128GB (64GB x 2) kit that I have confirmed does work (and works at 5600 MT/s speed).

It's hard to find though. I bought mine at Microcenter and at the time they had the lowest price and it was available for shipping. Now no shipping -- direct in-store only. You might find it elsewhere though.

Which one did you choose? Pro or classic? Pro is cheaper for some reason.
