Dell has withdrawn the 1.0.18 BIOS update for its Alienware computers and 1.14.3 for Latitude models after some users reported that the updates made their computers unbootable.
Affected models are said to include the Latitude 5320 and 5520, Inspiron 5680, and Alienware Aurora R8.
There have been reports that the 2.8.0 BIOS for the Inspiron 5680 is similarly affected, but at the time of writing it was still available from Dell's web site, where it is described as an "urgent" update.

Dell provides instructions for downgrading or recovering the BIOS.
Hopefully Dell will provide specific instructions for dealing with the current problem.
