    Hello everyone,

    I have some problems, my laptop Alienware 15 (2015) has some difficulties to start sometimes on the boot logo.
    I mean sometimes it will stay with the "Alienware logo" doing nothing, just shoot down 20 secondes later, or sometimes will take 2 or 3 minutes to start on the boot Windows logo, with HDD led going crazy like it was searching for something before turn on the led Wifi...

    I tried all BIOS (A00, A02, A03 and A04) all same, and all with a file error created during the flash on the desktop saying "Error 8772: Invalid usage, -allowsv switch requiered to update the same version firmware" (the file disappear after the laptop restarted).

    What does that mean ?
    I tried to chat with Dell Support in my country but instead of reinstalling Windows or Bios they don't know what to do, and i don't want to loose an other day....

    Thank you :)
