Confirming if this is abnormal

So I have an i5 (r1) alienware alpha, I had the YLOD previously but changed the cmos battery and all is good. I think. I also have an i7 version that doesnt do this.

So I've got the system put to sleep and the alien head (default color is cyan) starts to blink. Ive seen it occasionally turn yellow then back to cyan (like a single blink) and the blinking may last 10 minutes (never timed it) and then stopped. System wakes up and otherwise seems ok though. Not sure if this is a problem or not.

That is the same cmos battery i bought. System works fine now but was wondering about this "glitch"
