• During BIOS update verify that the computer is connected to an AC Adapter.
• Disconnect any third party peripherals connected to the computer before performing BIOS update. 
• Do not turn off the computer during the BIOS update.
• Do not restart the computer during the BIOS update.
• Ensure battery charge is more than 30% during BIOS update.

Note: Plug your computer to a good, working UPS before you update the BIOS. If you experience a loss of AC power or a significant voltage sag/spike during the BIOS flash, you will either have to buy a new BIOS chip or buy a new motherboard.

Now create a new AlienFX theme:

• Open the AlienFX Editor in Command Center.
• Access the Theme tab in the upper left corner of the AlienFX Editor and choose the New Theme Option to create a new theme.
• Save the new theme at the location and name of your preference by selecting the Save Theme option.

Reinstall the latest Alienware Command Center from thefollowinglink:

Awaiting your response!

I will try this on Saturday, sorry I can't any sooner, but I am very busy. Also, where can I send my laptop in for repairs if this fails? I am in Toronto, Ontario Canada, and I still have my warranty active as I received my laptop less than a month ago. I can see that there are very high risks by properly completing a BIOS update, and having little skill with computers, I don't feel safe doing this.
