Hey all!
Ok, so I purchased an Alienware 7700 laptop about a year ago and I am having an issue that when I turn it on it says no operating system found. I tested the hard drive and that is ok. Funny thing is is that when I hang the computer off my desk it works fine but if I put it all the way on the desk or put my hand a little under the fan of my video card it say "No OS found." I am thinking that this is the video card overheating? If yes, I don't have the cash to fix it so I am thinking about selling the computer for parts. What would be a good price?
It has:
-Intel 3.6GHz processor
-80gig hard drive (that I will set clean)
-2gigs of RAM
-Main CPU heat sink
-All other misc parts that I cannot name that would be found in such a computer. (Including a 12 in 1 card reader, mother board, fans, etc)
-DVD/RW CD drive
-Screen works 100%
-External wireless card (got it for longer range)
-like new condition battery with charging cord
-Like new condition Alienware backpack (Sells new for $100).
-Manuals
-Computer case
-Good condition outer shell.
-I will also throw in a $40 cool pad that I got for it and a travel mouse.
(Video card was an NVIDIA 6800 Ultra)
I got this computer for $3500 but w/o video card would $500 be an ok price for the parts listed? I know that the motherboard alone goes for $350(used) so I would think this would be a good deal to someone. I just don't have the resources or the time.
Thanks for your help everyone!
