repair Alienware Area-51 R2 - Replace RAM

I recently upgraded the ram in my Area 51 R2, and afterwards the computer wouldn't boot. The tower turned on, but I got nothing from the monitor or any peripherals. No output whatsoever. After a lot of headache, panic, fear, and anxiety, I finally found out that all I had to do was update the bios. I reverted to the old ram so I could boot, put in my service tag on Dell's website, updated the bios from there, put the new ram back in, and it worked like a charm. In case any poor soul is suffering the same problem and combing these comments as a last ditch effort to find a solution, definitely try updating your bios.

please could you please add an note, there is actual screw and switch to lock side door? Thanx

Hi need a video how to change the processor alienware area 51 r2

You guys sped up the video so much I couldn't see which way he had the memory turned when he was putting it in. Slow it down a bit the next time!

where i can buy the 32 gb ram?

I know with my X51 R2 the timing had to be compatible or it would blue screen every once in a while. You keep saying 2133 but is there more to it?

Recommendation for all people having issues with brands. Look for those sellers that announce the memory as compatible with Area51-R2. It will save you a lot of time.

Could you please tell us what caviar/ram brand we need to buy to update the memory of this computer? Ripjaws V Series doesn't work either. I don't know if this a joke from Dell to their consumer, but I don't find it funny.

I upgraded my ram to 4x8g, but when I power it up, the monitor, keyboard, and mice have no reaction.
