Area 51-R5, AWCC, OC Controls, issues

Well, they crash on my Alienware Area 51-R5. These are the correct ones for my Alienware PC. The latest version of AWCC 5.1.24 / OC Controls 1.1.16.0 will crash when trying to run the program up or use the FX tab. After running it the first time, it also causes continuous erratic spiking of the processor, from 10 to 20%, and causes continuous spiking of the video card from 0 to 100%. I have addressed this to the support staff at DELL and they are supposed to be looking into it. So, if your having problems with these latest updates, you are not alone. I have found that AWCC 5.1.18 & OC Controls 1.1.16.0 are stable enough to work together. This is just a FYI.

I am NOT a Dell Service Representative. I do not represent Dell or Alienware in anyway. The instructions above I had to find out on my own, as the Dell service department could NOT answer my many questions about these and other things. These are my own observations from using my own Alienware Area 51-R5 purchased in early April 2018. I've been a Professional Engineer for over 38 years.
