Problem with my Alienware Aurora computer.

Question

I am having multiple problems with my alienware computer and I don't know why they are happening. I will occasionally have the display driver crash while on the internet and just recently I had a new problem where the lights on the desktop flash, and the fan revs like its a race car or something. When it does this, I can't do anything with the mouse or keyboard because they stop working. I end up having to press the power button in and wait for it to shut down. If I could get some help it would be much appreciated. My computer specs are below: Processor CPU_Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz CPU_Manufacturer: GenuineIntel CPU_Caption: Intel64 Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 7 CPU_Version: CPU_ProcessorId: BFEBFBFF000206D7 CPU_CurrentClockSpeed: 1188MHz CPU_AddressWidth: 64Bits CPU_DataWidth: 64Bits CPU_SocketDesignation: CPU 1 IRQ Configuration 0 System timer 1 -empty- 2 -empty- 3 -empty- 4 Communications Port (COM1) 5 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset SMBus Host Controller - 1D22 6 -empty- 7 -empty- 8 System CMOS/real time clock 9 -empty- 10 -empty- 11 -empty- 12 -empty- 13 Numeric data processor 14 -empty- 15 -empty- 16 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset PCI Express Root Port 2 - 1D12 16 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset PCI Express Virtual Root Port - 1D3E 16 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller #2 - 1D2D 17 High Definition Audio Controller 17 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset PCI Express Root Port 1 - 1D10 19 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset PCI Express Root Port 4 - 1D16 19 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset PCI Express Root Port 8 - 1D1E 22 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset High Definition Audio Controller - 1D20 23 Intel(R) C600/X79 series chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller #1 - 1D26 26 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E5 Product Family/Core i7 IIO PCI Express Root Port 1a - 3C02 26 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E5 Product Family/Core i7 IIO PCI Express Root Port 1b - 3C03 32 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E5 Product Family/Core i7 IIO PCI Express Root Port 2a - 3C04 40 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E5 Product Family/Core i7 IIO PCI Express Root Port 3a in PCI Express Mode - 3C08 44 High Definition Audio Controller 190 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System If any other specs are required, I can provide.

TrixyTrico, What video card and video card driver is installed in your Aurora-R4? What Bios version is installed?
