Hi,
I recent upgraded my Windows 8 to 8.1 on my Aurora R4 which is bought in April 2013. After the upgrade, I found several issues:
1. SecureBoot is not configured as shown in the desktop.
So I enable it in BIOS and choose mode Standard. Looks fine to me.
2. AlienFX doesn't work any more.
No lights or blink on my desktop anymore. And after I shutdown the computer, the Alien Logo blink with red & orange light which is not my AlienFX theme.
I believe I'm not the only one: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19528731.aspx
3. Thermal Controller doesn't work as well.
This is the most annoying one. If I choose Auto( Alien Control ) in thermal controller, the PCI Fan & Hard Drive Fan will keep at 100% and make a loud noise. So right now I change it Manual( User Control ). But it still make a loud noise during booting ( Whole time booting from I push the button to the windows desktop shown up until the thermal controller start up, not just 3 or 4 seconds at the beginning as before ) and shutting down.
Could you provide us some updates of AlienFX & Thermal Controller to make them compatible with Windows 8.1 ASAP?
Thanks
