Aurora R13, BIOS 1.3.1 update

Following the update of the last BIOS 1.3.1, 1.3.1 at the restart I had the following information that you will see on the photo that I put in attachment. With the old BIOS 1.2.1 I had no problem though. Do you think I should go back to the previous version of BIOS? I have not changed anything in my original configuration, the memory is still the one provided by Dell during the manufacture of my Alienware, but it indicates a problem, hence my question. Thank you for your answers. Happy 4th of July!

    You can also go back to a previous Bios with no issues on the R13 so don't worry. I've tried them all more than once and never had an issue

    First off is no. You can not undo a BIOS. You have no issue, it's all good.

    You can't put xmp because R13 with DRR5 doesn't allowed this. The support told me to change the bios to the previous version and now everything is normal has you can see on this picDSC_0001.JPG

    XMP on the R13 is disabled, cannot be turned on.  Sorry.  This has already been confirmed and stated that it won't ever be enabled.

    You can switch BIOS versions, but, as has been stated and confirmed XMP is disabled and Dell has said that they are not going to enable it. See this thread: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/Aurora-R13-no-XMP/m-p/8125169#M55451
