    Well I had to re-install windows and the only problem I have is whenever I turn off my computer the alienware FX lights stay on. I have installed OSD, and Command Center. I wondered if this was a problem I could fix or I have to live with?

    Maybe it's charging the battery or you are in stand by mode ....

    also worth trying a power drain.

    take out battery and unplug then press the power button for 20 secs.
