M18x R2 A08 Bios bugs under Windows 8

http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m18x/694748-m18x-r2-windows-8-osd-not-working-5.html

1. Make OSD driver working on windows 8.
2. Make Windows 8 Fast boot option available while on dedicated graphics.
3. Numlock turned "on" on startup.
4. Update OROM.

Hope to see things above get fixed in a future A09 Bios!

I got another bug with the A08 Bios

After updating to A08 on my M18x R2 (Dual GTX 680M SLI) the SLI function doesn't work anymore.

I tried the Dell Nvidia Driver and also all drivers from 306.97 to 310.61 BETA

:(

I use Windows 8.
