aurora r4 system fan failure
Hi I'am having problems with my aurora r4. system fan failure from time to time when booting up. Alienware thermal Control always shows that system is at 0% but all of the fans are physically working. I will try to post a screen shot of it when i got home. Its is my secong r4 my 1st died after 4 months of owning it my r4 now is the replacement and my warranty expired last March can anyone help me on this one thanks in advance.
Note: I barely use my r4 busy work schedule

Your screen-shot is not correct. System Fan and CPU fan are actually the same fan and should not be shown twice. Also, the Pump status is missing.
For Windows-7, I run Command Center v2.8.9.0 .
Test and install like this:

Hi,
Make sure your system is running the latest Bios firmware, click here for the download link. Try reinstalling the Alienware Command Center application, click here for the download link. Uninstall it first from Programs and Features, then restart the system and install it again.
