Aurora R13, constant Black Screen, Reboots, BSOD

Just download the exe, run it.  It'll restart the pc and do all the work for you.  It's super simple.

after running computer with default settings for 24hrs. I unplugged the machine for a fourth time and waited 30mins. then plugged it back in, then waited 1min to turn on from a cold state, sadly I still get a rear fan error running a full speed anytime the unplug the computer for 15 to 30mins or more, I didn't have this issue with 1.02 bios that came with the computer, this has been a problem since updating to 1.08 last night.

only other issue I have is with full defaults is I have small colored squares on my display at random and they flicker on and off sometimes but its always near the far right and left sides of the screen.

after disabling deep sleep control again in bios the small squares went away. had the same issue in 1.02 bios as well as current bios 1.08

I have ran the full extended tests many times and run 8 to 10hrs a day under light to moderate load gaming and what not. with deep sleep state disabled however the small squares came didn't come back in 1.02 or 1.08 bios versions.

@CranberryOne your issues sound very different than most described in this thread. It may be worth opening a separate thread, or contacting Support directly. I believe you may be experiencing hardware issues.

I have created a few posts on this and how I resolved it.. However the fix is 2 fold.. You have to change the PCIE Linkstate power management option to off in the power options.. You then have to change the TDR Delay.

Here is a link to my fix!  Hope this helps someone!

R13 Randomly Bluescreens while idle or playing games (FIXED) : Alienware (reddit.com)

@Cryptogod565 

It does appear that the new 1.0.8 BIOS update does address this issue. Prior to the BIOS update, the PCIE link state power management option you mention was also a good change. However the TDR delay did nothing for me except make the black screen crash take 60 seconds instead of the usual five.

Thanks for your contributions and Happy New Year!

it is my intent to mark this resolved within the next 72 hours citing the BIOS update as the fix unless someone mentions the same problem that is not addressed by the 1.0.8 update before then.

Glad you got your resolution.. The bios update did not work for me.. Infact when the bios update was applied Alienware Control Center lost it's over clocking ability (Even after reinstall of the OC components) and dell still hasn't been able to restore ACC to a working state.. The Nov 5th update is what caused the functionality to crash and dell has contributed it to that bios update.

Hey, I need a favor from someone who owns an R13. Any chance you could upload the default R13 wallpaper to a free picture hosting side, or on this board?

Trying to add them to the wallpaper collection on the sticky in the forum.

I'd love to get the default R13 wallpaper as well, as I've lost it when I wiped the whole system to install Win10.

Thanks!
