解决方案

Install System BIOS 1.1.6 or newer

There is no hardware failure within the laptop. Applying the overclock profile in the BIOS automatically changes the thermal mode to Performance mode. However, the BIOS is not updating the Alienware Command Center user Interface (UI) appropriately to reflect this.

Install the latest BIOS update to resolve this issue. To download and install the latest BIOS:

Warning: Dell recommends disconnecting any external devices like external hard disk drives, printers, scanners before updating the BIOS.
Warning: Dell laptops must have the battery installed and charged to at least 10% before you begin the BIOS update. Dell recommends connecting the laptop to AC power before proceeding with the update process.
