Cause

Dell's Engineering department have identified it as an issue with an older BIOS revision.

Resolution

Keeping your system updated with the latest drivers and firmware would resolve this issue. Alternatively update the BIOS to the most recent revision available on the Dell Support site.

  1. Update the BIOS to the latest revision:

    1. Go to the Dell Support Site

    2. Enter the service tag or express service code to get drivers specific to how the system shipped

      Alternatively you can choose the Alienware Area 51m from the product list to get a general list of drivers for that system

    3. Click on the Drivers and Downloads drawer in the menu

    4. Ensure you have the correct operating system set

    5. Select BIOS from the category dropdown

    6. Locate the System BIOS version 1.5.0 or newer

    7. Click on the download link and follow the online instructions

Note: Your system will restart while it flashes your BIOS to the most recent revision. Best Practice is to have the system connected to a reliable source of power throughout this update.
