Aurora R9, BIOS update, CPU fan failure (liquid cooled)

Question

My sons Alienware Aurora R9 is having CPU Fan (Liquid Cooled) and Top Fan failures after updating the BIOS and after Alienware Updates. I haven't really found anyone with the same issues. I loaded the latest BIOS 1.0.15 on a USB drive and reflashed the BIOS to no avail. It won't load Windows and keep showing an error code 4101. I swear that the only thing we did was update the thing. Of course my 1 year warranty ran out 8 months ago in April, so Dell will hold me over a barrel on something their software did to the computer.

Do you have tried to remove the battery on the motherboard for a reset?

I did and it keeps coming back with this error.

The '4101' error is commonly caused by incorrectly configured system settings or irregular entries in the Windows registry. since you can see some video but Windows cannot load, one option is to do a clean install of Windows 10.
