I bought a Alienware x51 desktop last year (around march of 2012). The desktop has been crashing around feb of 2013, the warranty was about to expire and i extended the warranty by one year to be on the safer side. In the past week the computer has been crashing daily and is currently unusable.

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.
