So I have an Alienware Aurora R11

It had 16gb ddr4 3200ghz ram and I upgraded to 128gb ddr4 3400ghz ram

I looked up the motherboard and it should be able to support the ram I put in but when I go to turn the computer on I get 4 blinking yellow lights indicating ram failure. Any clues on what the problem might be? My first thought was power supply?

Which RAM did you buy? A reddit thread I found said some people had issues if they didn’t buy the RAM directly from Dell/Crucial

You also could’ve gotten a bad stick of RAM, or have a bad RAM slot. Test each slot & stick individually, one at a time.

Here’s a list of compatible RAM for your PC: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/alienware/aurora-r11

I’m thinking about 1tb if ram. It says your ram is too low. Try 64 gb each.
