    I just bought an alienware m7700 and i installed 2 gigs of ram, a 7950GTX video card, the amd fx-60, and a 250 GB hard drive. It wont boot up at all. It doesnt even get to the bios screen. i have researched the problem but have found no real answer. i have reseated everything and reset the cmos.. but nothing is working.. has anyone else had this problem?? and what should i do??
