Laptops rarely have updates but when they do they must come from Dell not Nvidia or Intel or any other manufacturer. Did you get the updates from Dell? You should not use Dell Assist to get the updates for you especially bios updates. You must visit Dell Downloads and drivers page for your model and download and install them yourself. See if this helps--

Hello Mary, thank you for your replay
i did go to my alpha 2 model page and this page asked me to install software assiance (which i did)
the updates (including the Nvidia Bios Update) were from the Dell Alienware Alpha 2 page, the software only informed me that those software NEEDED URGENTLY and pointed to Dell Alienware Alpha 2 page for downloading and manually installing...
