I’ve spent hours on the phone with Alienware. They are now sending a new motherboard and a tech out to install it. I’m less than happy with the whole experience. The old computer is back up and running. I am typing on it now. The new machine is in the corner of the room collecting dust.

As far as the Noble goes, I got a package from the DMV yesterday. They sent all of my information back with a letter stating that I am missing two pieces of information. Looks like I’ll be driving to Richmond in the morning to straighten that out. I’d really like to be able to legally drive the car before Christmas.
