Edit Steve@NBF: Alienware wants to make it clear that not all m15x systems are exhibiting this behavior. However if you are experiencing problems, e-mail them at area51_m15x@alienware.com, and they will give you the download link to the new bios. They will be releasing a new public bios this week, which I will update in this thread.

Update March 26, 208: Public Bios here

Upgrading the Bios will NOT void your warranty.
