Alienware Thermal Controls 4.8.23.0 Crashing when I open a game
Thermal Controls Version 4.8.23.0, A00 crashes consistently when I open some games (PUBG is one example). Result is that the fans stay at whatever level they were at when the crash happened, until I exit game and restart Command Center.
Here is the error details:

Hi mannunix,
Update the BIOS version to the latest here and reinstall the Command Center again following ALL the steps on the article you mentioned above.

Alienware-Eimy,
Thank you for your response and suggestion. I actually had already updated to the new bios yesterday after posting.
Unfortunately updating the bios and reinstalling Command Center again per the linked steps did not resolve the issue. Please let me know if there are any other troubleshooting steps I could perform here (i.e. starting Command Center in debug or obtaining additional logs/thread dumps).
Here is what I got after the update and reinstall, upon starting the game again:
