You cannot unless, you editing the configuration registers for the PLL IC. search for m17x-r2 extreme overclocking and register editing.

But if you have to, i recommend that you change your cpu because is probably faulty. M17X-R2 running fine with it donno y you so eager to disable HT

I have messed with modded bios before and i understand the risks but this was ridiculous, i used the phoenix phlash that came with your mod and backed up the original bios before performing the mod. the moded bios worked fine but then when reflashing back to the original with the backup it froze on part 13 of 70. ok its not the end of the world i hard reboot the laptop, amazingly its still running but its running slower, i figure lets try this again maybe something went wrong so i tried to reflash to the backup again, this time i perform the flash with the program and file on a usb drive because previously it was on the hdd and the hdd was stuck on thinking last time(it froze last time with hdd blinking). anyway so im flashing and it goes through the whole procedure gets to 70/70 ie 100% the says reboot in 10, 9 ,8, ... 2, 1, then starts to shut down.

however windows got stuck on the shut down screen, hard reboot again.

NOW THE SYSTEM DOESNT RESPOND TO POWER.
i have no clue where to go from here, tried clearing cmos, cmos battery drain, removing cmos batter, no battery only power, fn+screen change.

the system doesnt even power on, no lights no response.
i dont understand, the only think i can think of is phoenix winphlash allows you to backup can you cant restore the backup you create because its a different format.

ANYBODY any ideas???

CRISIS Recovery Instructions:
To Create a Crisis Recovery USB you must use a Win XP system
Note: Running XP through compatability more in Win 7 will not work
1. Insert 2GB USB Drive
2. Open "CRISDISK" folder
3. Open "WINCRIS" application
4. It should detect the USB Drive
5. Click "Start" Button
WINCRIS should create the USB recovery drive
6. For Crisis recover, be sure to Power drain system.
A. Remove Battery
B. Depress power button for 10-15 sec.
7. Insert USB drive into eSata port.
8. Hold FN+B while plugging in power cord in system
9. Continue to hold FN+B and depress system power button.
10. Continue holding FN+B until USB drive begins to flash.
11. System may remain blank as it enters recovery mode
12. System should complete recovery in 5-10 min. If system has not powered down in 15 min, power down by pressing the power button.

Alternate instruction set:
Alienware M17XR2 Crisis Recovery Procedure

1.Download the latest dell bios A10 from website and extract content onto desktop.
2.Locate crisis.zip file and copy onto memory stick
3.Insert usb memory stick onto windows xp computer only. And extract contents of crisis.zip onto desktop.
4.There should be 7 files on the desktop, run wincris file (floppy disk icon).
5.A dialogue box will appear, under the driver tab select your usb drive.
6.Press start and confirm ok to continue. This will copy all files to the usb stick, and then safely remove usb drive.
7.Shut down your Alienware, insert your usb key into the esata port (left side).
8.Remove battery, ac adapter and perform power drain.
9.Press down keys FN and B together, while keeping depressed press and keep down the power on button for three seconds, then let go keeping the FN and B buttons still pressed.
10.The usb drive will flash briefly then pause and then will flash continuously for 30 seconds, the lcd display will remain blank. AT THIS POINT DO NOT TURN OF THE COMPUTER.
11.After 5 mins approx the computer will automatically shut down and reboot hopefully recovering your computer back from a bad bios flash.
12. THE USB RECOVERY STICK CAN ONLY BE CREATED BY USING WINDOWS XP.

TheWiz

I just had to get my power jack re-soldered to my motherboard.  I was having an error before saying that I was using a non' dell's power supply and I was hoping that this would fix the problem but it hasn't Angry  After spending $110 on the repair I'm being told that I need to replace my motherboard.  I think that is a bunch of bull Ship and I want to know if the bios can somehow be modded to get past the non dell's adapter warning and let my machine charge.  Any help?  Please???

Dear All, 
I know this as been solved but from my side it is a total nightmare. I am not able to recover my BIOS after it got stuck during the update. I have tried everything and couldn't get the recovery. I will really appreciate your help.
