    1. (I think this error below has to do with the picture attachment[unknown.png])
    ACPI Error: The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.

    Here is my drivers and vbios information:
    So when i put my alienware m17x r3 on stand by and restart evga precsion doesn't detect my gpu it says something with "wrapper" I think it has to do with the drivers. Also i have temp program to raise the fan speeds and it sometime says intel sandy bridge; intel HD 3000 gpu as #00 the dropdown menu does NOT show #01(Unknown device.png) I also have repasted 3 times.

    I'll add more problem i can think of...late, I forget things when I type....

    Oh yes i forgot the worse problem i have had BsoD: Power_State_driver_failure.
