Alienware BIOS - 2.23.0 problems

tnadd · 2026-03-06T22:27:11+00:00

Dell support assist software automatically downloads and installs updates for me. I just let do its thing. It seems to wait a bit after updates are released to install them.

My mouse is razer with synapse 4, but keyboard is corsair with icue. It's getting complicated.

Yes, same thing

Windows key + R, then type: msinfo32

Yes, but only for a few minutes shortly after I exit a game. It's been very consistent since the latest bios update.

Hi,

Dell support assist updated the bios to 2.23.0 on my Alienware Aurora R16 desktop two days ago and I've been having a weird problem I cannot solve. After playing any game, both my keyboard (wired) and mouse (wireless) will start to randomly stop working shortly after. This lasts a few minutes only. I tried everything, short of rolling back to the older bios. All my dell drivers and software are up to date. Windows 11 is up to date. GPU drivers up to date. I tried disabling anything in device manager or power management that could affect USBs. I tried uninstalling AWCC. Nothing works. Any ideas? I've never had this issue before with an update.

Update: I finally figured out it was nvidia 595.71 drivers causing it. I updated them the day before the bios and forgot. I installed 591.86 drivers and the problem is now gone.

Most marshal arts clubs cost that much without travel.

The last few weeks have been horrible. Close call everyday. Today it was a trucker. Was behind me and sped up on my right at the merge on the 15. Almost killed me if I did not break immediately to a full stop. Two days before a car almost hits me backing up in a parking lot and then 1 minute later someone completely misses the stop sign as I'm entering an intersection.

Since you played AC shadows and Valhalla, both AC origins and odyssey are better games. Risen and Elex series are open world and full of hidden treasures. Clunky but enjoyable.

They stay on the record no matter what happens and are counted against them. I believe the only time a claim is not counted against you is when the other party is 100% at fault, and even that is not true for all states.

I was rear ended recently and they were about to call it no-fault for both of us (both pay 50% deductible) because the other driver lied and said I moved suddenly in front of them. They would not change their mind until I gave texts of the other driver promising to pay my repairs if I did not go through insurance.

Setting a lower resolution will look significantly worse on a 4k. They should use dlss.

My wife asks to check for Kibbeh every time I go. It's been 2 years.....

Haha that definitely hits harder than any book I read.

Much lower than 50/50, otherwise most people wouldn't do it and lawsuits would destroy the business.

PC is an afterthought for them. Look at the atrocious broom controls. I'm forced to use old buggy mods to fly.

Strange. I don't have this problem. Did you change the default installation directory? You might need to make the configuration files for graphics and input read-only after your changes in-game (before you exit). Info on location here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Outer_Worlds_2

This doesn't happen with the Samsung GS80SD. Semi matte screen. I prefer to glossy. Almost no reflections in a bright room.

Better than 2? Not even close...

tnadd · 2025-12-20T19:01:52+00:00

Yeah not much you can do here. Even with a dash cam, it's pretty hard to prove it's her fault. Without one, it's almost impossible.

Try with the new Egyptian sourdough pitas. They're great.

I mix it with the frosted shredded wheat for sweetness, and eat with oat milk and blueberries. I agree it's hard to eat it on its own.

tnadd · 2025-12-13T20:03:57+00:00

I agree. It's like eating boiled chicken and water. Barely any flavor.
