I suggest to contact dell-cares for warranty inquiries.
I would not wait to long as warranty is time sensitive.

1. Just went into the BIOS to ensure the Overclocking option was off as I see no reason to OC a high end machine.
2. As I selected Performance Options it hung and the mouse stopped working. I could do nothing with it and after an hour of looking up solutions gave up and used the power button to switch it off, which it did instantly and with a loud click.
1. Agreed. These machines are way-fast already (at stock speeds). I see no use to red-lining it and running it into the ground for an extra 5% performance.
2. Locking-up inside the UEFI-Boot-Environment or the BIOS Settings is NOT-GOOD. Likely bad AC-Power or a Hardware-Problem.
Are you running the latest BIOS? Only thing is, don't update BIOS if machine seems unstable (as you will likely brick-it/kill-it).
Totally agree that these Auroras do not need to be overclocked just set to High Performance when gaming. Intel Thermal Velocity boost automatically goes to 4.8-4.9 GHz. Just enable xpm2 in bios or Ram2 in AWCC.
