Aurora R10, turns on but no signal to monitor, 2 consecutive Power LED flashes, pause than another flash
Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R10
Hello All,
For a couple of days now I am getting some inconsistent behavior from my Alienware Aurora Ryzen R10 desktop, coincidentally after buying a new monitor (though I think this should be coincidence), the computer seems to boot there is often no signal sent to the monitor, I have to restart it several times until it finally works. After it successfully starts it seems to remain stable and fine for continued usage, but each following day the process is repeated, as if it does not like to take long breaks.
The Power LED diagnostic is 2 led flashes followed by a pause and then another LED flash, which in manual indicates some sort of chipset / motherboard failure.
However what is strange is that even when the computer finally starts (after couple of retries), I still get the same flashing diagnostic, as if the problem is happening still but regardless the desktop was able to start.
Additionally in this odd behavior both when computer fails to start or whether it succeeds, the Alienware startup logo is never seen in the monitor, when I do finally see an image on screen is already when windows is starting. If I restart the computer however, I do se the alienware logo first.
Seems like a lot of mixed behaviors, maybe some sign that either motherboard of GPU is close to the end.
In an case I would appreciate if anyone can offer some feedback as to what could be wrong or potentially something to try.
Thanks in advance

I would change the Coin Cell battery.

Hi! Having a similar issue. Any more information? Did you run into any solutions? I took PC apart and noticed black on one of the thermal layers underneath the heat sync. I am leaning towards one of the MOSFETS that regulate voltage so maybe a motherboard issue? Any other info would be appreciated.

@SavBeast The only thing that seemed to work for me was using the HDMI port instead of the display port.
My former monitor was always using the display port for years, to this day I dont know why I couldnt continue with the new one.
