Got an Alienware 18 - had it since January. The last few weeks I've been getting an issue with the screen. Hard to describe, but most colours get flickers on them. The first few times a reboot sometimes cleared it. Also, after maybe 10 mins running the system they cleared up as well.
3 days ago it happened again, and this time, nothing seems to help. I updated the Nvidia drivers to latest, that didn't help. I then updated the BIOS to A07 (I was on A03). Next reboot - ALL FIXED! Yay. Clear, crystal clean display. Happy days!
Next day, turn it on, same issue.
It's odd, as I don't get the issue when in the BIOS, only in Windows. So my first guess is it's related to the Nvidia cards - I assume the BIOS runs on integrated graphics? Any ideas? Thoughts? Similar issues? I want to do what I can prior to calling in Dell support as I'm hoping it's something just software related.
