I have some new pictures to show that everything is working fine, ran a full test and let the computer warmup for 2hrs. before taking pics.

Not sure why I got a rear error fan in the first or why small squares show up only in windows 11 unless I disable deep sleep control in bios, but its working fine for now.
PRESENT DEC 30+ Problem 1: Hi, I have had a new R13 since Dec 7 and have been running fair well overall, just updated the bios to 1.08 the other day and started to have a rear fan failure alert if I left the computer off and unplugged for a while anything longer than 15mins, then plugged in it a few mins later then turned it on. after thinking about things I ran the full bios tests again and everything was green and was using the computer just fine for 8 hours that day. all software came from dell using my service tag for the bios and control app. I had installed Alienware control package to windows and setup everything just fine didn't change any settings from the app nor did I use or enable any overclocking as it showed OC as Off Thermal as Balanced Sound as Alienware and Power as balanced. after it was installed and everything was a default settings and RGB colors. I uninstalled it and and removed it from the system as I didn't need it, I though perhaps having anything other than a default setup, might be conflicting with drawing to much power on the led rear fan on startup after being off, causing the error. also noting all RGB lighting when black for serval seconds to a minute  before it was reprogrammed with the standard RGB values and firmware code for the FX chip. since its a intel its default blue. later I shutdown the system then unplugged for serval hours. then in the morning I plugged it in and waited 30mins before turning it on, I didn't get a fan error this time, so maybe I'll have to wait 30mins from now after plugging it in, but before turning it on in the future. Problem 1: Solved for now. PAST Dec 7 to Dec 30 in a previous install of windows I had set the RGB color to a manual color all white to match the video card led which I cant change. then I flashed the bios to 1.08 for the first time  DEC 30+ though windows everything went fine and computer when back in to windows once it was done. I like making sure my computer is stable with new firmware. so I shutdown the computer and unplugged it that night 10 to 15min later I plugged it back in then waited a few mins before turning it on. had my first rear fan error then. PRESENT Problem 2: small black squares on screen edges left and right no bigger than a dime and always in the same places. while using default bios settings using Bios version 1.02 from the PAST and 1.08 Presently . only thing I found to stop them is to disable deep sleep control in bios then rebooting. it also stopped random reboots in the previous bios 1.02 with power kernel 41 issues in the PAST. PRESENT after running the computer with 1.08 and deep sleep control disabled from bios, computer ran fine no more black small squares on the screen either in 1.02 the PAST or PRESENT I have been testing the computer for about 15days off and on totaling a few hundred hours. I have tried to reenable deep sleep control to enabled but immediately the squares came came randomly this behavior has been constantly true. in the PAST or PRESENT versions for the bios despite all tests ran always showed up Green in the diagnoses program. Problem 2: Not Solved, however working fine for now. Worth Noting the small black squares are always on the edges of the screen its just one on  the left and one on the right side, same place relativity, but its only in windows 11 this doesn't happen outside of windows 11 at all.
