Chris, Thank for for the BIOS update information. I dl'd the BIOS update and applied it to my laptop. I upgraded from A02 -> A04, new Dell laptop bought in Sep '14 had old BIOS even though BIOS A04 was released in May.
I ran the command you requested: >> sudo dmidecode -s bios-version & sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date [1] 2872 A04 05/09/2014 >> As I just applied this BIOS so I will run for a day and determine if it helped any.
