My sons R3 Aurora's multiplier continues to drop to 8 rather than 32. As a result he's getting very slow speeds and performance. He is running A06 Bios. We have tried various bios settings, however we can't get it to work correctly. Any thoughts?

I have an Inspiron 7520 and uninstalled and reinstalled the new version of Dell Backup and Recovery Manager -- upgraded to premium to make sure that I would have full ability to use the program. Note: the old version didn't work at all -- hung up on backup, etc. I have rebooted.

AlienFX launches fine and I can see the green icon in the notification area, but trying a quick change for the led panels or going trough the Command Center has no effect. After a while a balloon pops up from the notification area saying that AlienFX could not communicate with the hardware.
