IS there a model number on the motherboard? Dell part numbers look like CN-xxxxxx.... IF you see a number like that look it up on ebay. Read the listing fully and check the rep of the sellerThat CN number should be on a sticker somewhere on the board
Whops, accidently made u a solution. but i will surely check the board on ebay or so. Thank you for your advice.

When you start do you see the hard drive LED flash or do you hear the Windows startup chime? I see only the LED flash, but no windows startup sound or display.
You tried the video card in a different slot, and one stick of RAM. Have you re-seated all of the RAM? Re-seat the CPU (and the memory again) also and try to boot without any non-essential devices attached. Keep the CPU, GPU, RAM and nothing else - disconnect HDD, DVD-ROM, audio header and USB headers.
If this doesn't do it, it's the board
I tried 1 stick of ram, and video card on different slot, aswell as putting ram back, but i havent tried turning it on without any of those components.

Does that board have any other PCI-express slots you can try the card in? If nothing else works it's possible the motherboard has failed. Yes, there are, and i tried both PCI- Slots
do u think i should get another motherboard on the same?
IF we can determine it's a bad motherboard we'd have to check that a different board fits that case. PC manufacturers, Dell (which makes Alienware) included, sometimes use non-standard motherboard layouts. It's possible you'd need to get another board of the same model it came with. That's also a somewhat outdated system, so if you can afford it an upgrade to a new system might be something to consider.
So we just need a replacement.. and if so, Do u think u can provide me a link to a website. I would greatly appreciate that, thank you.
