Did more research and the mods / staff over at the Alienware forums FUCKING recommended HWinfo for this issue. Decided to use HWinfo to manually make something work and sure enough the GPU fans spun up, but now the CPU fan won’t (found out that there is a limitation with HWinfo when it comes to this laptop). Updated the BIOS to the latest, double checked drivers, flash GPU bios that Dell recommended. Test all the fans in the CPU fan header and they all spin up. The CPU fan spins but neither GPU fans spin. There are 3 fans in the laptop 2 for the 980m’s and one for the CPU. System boots and was thinking everything was fine… until I noticed something. Returned the motherboard and got another 980m. ![]() Same issue happened with the new motherboard and ended up finding out it was one of the two 980m’s that was causing the issue. Wasn’t the DC jack or the charger, so ended up saying screw it and got another motherboard. Plugging in the charger would cause a short. I have an Alienware m18x to repair that would not turn on.
