sean, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/alienware-13-r2/drivers an update to your computer's
buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A05). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change
anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) If the issue is still reproducible, please mark this report Status Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.
