When I start my laptop, the screen frozen and it not working

I got my laptop worked great then I come home the the next day and turn it on and then it shuts off as its turning on I made sure it's plugged up for power and I tried holding the power button to see if it'll restart or something but isn't working I hope I can find a solution

Pros:AlienFX lighting system.The FEEL of the keyboardThe build quality of the machineGraphics amplifier2 M.2 SSD slotsGTX 965M is a great card for the average gamer. Almost as fast as a GTX 780MCons:Heat. HEAT HEAT. I mean HOT. Keyboard becomes uncomfortable on mine. I would imagine it is crappy thermal paste as most manufactures can't apply thermal paste right.The trackpad is horrible. I mean really bad. To the point that I think that I may have a faulty unit. Skips, won't scroll, etc.The placement of the keyboard. It is weird. Your placement is about a key to the right of what it would be on any other laptop. It is very weird.The palm rest is so much smaller than the old 17 & 18, and your wrists are very near the edge and if you are not careful will dig in.The biggest issue that I have the is the amount of light bleed on the system. This and the trackpad is why I am hitting this machine so hard. The light bleed is the worse that I have ever seen on any system in my life. It is so bad that if you have a black background it looks like an old B&W TFT screen from the 90's. It is horrible.Debating on returning the system. I will be calling Dell to have them replace the screen on a one day old laptop.

I'll post an updated review eventually.A little background: I know what I'm doing. There are some other comments on here of people who clearly do not know what they are doing. I am not among those.That being said, I really WANT to like this computer - and it isn't far off.Pros:Incredibly fast GPU, CPU, RAM, I haven't had any issues with those.Lit keyboard and touchpad very attractive... when functioning correctly. Color changing interface easy to use... again, when functioning correctly.Non-glossy screen looks very nice, accurate colors, low glare.Battery lasts much longer than expected. (~5 hours)Cons:Killer 1525 wifi has proven to be VERY unstable. Sometimes I get good speeds, sometimes not so much, sometimes I can't get internet with it at all. I downloaded new drivers to no avail - I just deleted the entire Killer software suite and drivers and reinstalled the entire thing. It APPEARS to be working. We'll see if that lasts. I had Intel wifi hardware on my last laptop and NEVER had these issues.Keyboard lights don't always work. The macro buttons on the left side of my keyboard sometimes decide to randomly change to a color which doesn't match my scheme... When I try to change them back, they insist they already are the color I'm trying to change them to (blue) when they are instead orange.I had to take off the back paneling and reattach the hard drive... upon boot, my computer was telling me "No bootable devices found." Upon diagnostics, it found no hard drive installed. I'm not sure if it was just loose or what, regardless, on a laptop that is less than a week old, that is not a good sign. I'll update this in a few weeks with whether the issue has continued or not.I didn't even think to look - I hadn't ever owned a laptop without an optical drive before other than my school-issued macbook air... so I didn't know that was a "thing," but this laptop does not have an optical (CD/DVD) drive. It certainly has the space to have one... but it does not.Summary: It's a very attractive computer with very good hardware. All USB ports are 3.0, the Nvidia 965 is very fast, and there is always the option of adding the alienware graphics booster. The keyboard lights are a nice touch... when they work correctly. The Killer wifi software shows promise - but I need it to be more reliable. I'll update this as to whether my latest fix continues working or not. The hard drive is working... for now. My intitial impression after 6 days is that this computer was not put together well... the materials feel nice, but a loosely attached hard drive and bad wifi drivers is not a good start. For now, I'll give it 3 stars. It's a good computer overall, but it hasn't been working nearly as smoothly as the HP laptops I have owned in the past. I'll update this in a few weeks as to whether it smooths out or not.

Have had this for 11 mouths now on the 4th hard drive. Send it in and it gets a new hard drive can't get them to fix why they fails.
