Alpha R2, freezes since BIOS A08

Ever since installing the A08 BIOS, initial powerup will freeze with the alienware logo and no spinning circle. A Force power cycle (Hold power 10 seconds, wait 10 push power again) seems to resolve the issue. I've downloaded the update twice and did a sha-5 check both times to ensure there was no corruption etc. 

 

Thoughts?

CMOS Battery may be going bad and or Hard drive may be failing.

Given the age of this system a new battery and hard drive are recommended.
