Re: I made a bios change to the first factory OC  try clear cmos settings by reset RTCRST jumper on motherboard and replace cmos battery with a brand new one. If you plan to order a 8940, consider 8950 which has solved many issues in 8940.
Hi everyone, first post in about 10 years, been a Dell user since the late 90's, XPS T500 (still have). My problem today is about my 2010 Area-51 R1. I made a bios change to the first factory OC and on the subsequent restart the computer hangs halfway through the bios loading and just sits there. Is there a way to recover from this? My solution was to order a new XPS 8940 but if possible I would like to fix my old Alienware Area-51 R1.
Area-51 R1, BIOS hang on startup
