 Hello,
 
 What you are describing might exactly be the problem. The Dell BIOS might
 have been altered a bit or something. There are newer versions for the
 BIOS available as I saw on: http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/
 
 Would you be so kind to see if there is a newer version for your model,
 and whether flashing it to that BIOS might resolve the problem? Ofcourse
 read the instructions for flasing carefully!
 
 Cheers,
 Remko
