    When my comp crashes, which is more often than Win7 should, the first time I re-start, I get a red-light on the right speaker and then the comp switches off. I have to press the power button again to have the comp startup. Even on the 2nd time, the right speaker goes red and then it starts up. Is this an indicator for a component issue?

    I'm on Win7 64bit Home Premium. BIOS is A07. Alienware M17x R1.
