Randomly almost everyday, no matter what I'm doing my PC will crash to a no signal black screen and my fans will go to max (sometimes they don't?). I will get the message 'Please power down and connect the PCIe cables to this graphics card' when trying to boot back up. Which I will have to open my computer up and swap out the extra PCI connector to the graphics card then the computer will work for another day or two before another crash happens and I have to repeat the same process.

I've been troubleshooting this problem for awhile and still have not found a solution. Alienware has replaced my graphics card and power board once. I just recently complained again and so they are replacing the graphics card again(?) as well as the PCI fan and graphics card holder. I fear this is not the solution. Has anyone else had this problem?
