A couple of weeks ago my Alienware 17 stopped working after turning it off and on and connecting it to a dedicated external graphics card (GTX 970). Didn't try to fix it for a while because school was starting, but now I'm having problems. Now on boot up it gives me the messages "Preparing automatic repair", "Diagnosing PC issues", and "Attempting to Fix", but is unable to and directs me to WinRE.
In the troubleshooting menu I've tried:
-Resetting PC (Both with files and complete reset of both drives and also single drive I keep Windows 10 on), which got up to around ~20% before failing
-System Restore, but unfortunately I don't have a restore point
-System Image Recovery, but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive. I suppose I could try a USB with the correct files? Would be great if someone could direct me to those files
-Startup Repair, Windows wasn't able to fix any of the problems
-Go Back to Previous Version, Windows said it ran into a problem going back to a previous version
-Use another Operating System, Which doesn't work
-Safe Mode bootup (with and without Network), no luck
-Startup Settings such as: Low Resolution, Disable Driver Signature Enforcement, Disable Early Launch Malware Protection, Disable Automatic Restart After Failure, Enable Debugging, all also no luck because computer wouldnt start up in the first place.
Does anyone have any ideas? It would greatly appreciate it and give praise for any viable suggestions. I use this computer for computations and gaming, which is like half of my days sometimes lol.
