530 BIOS 1.0.13 halts frequently on startup

I have just taken a Dell Inspiron 530 out of the box and connected the Dell USB mouse and keyboard, as well as the VGA monitor (and power cable).  When I hit the power switch, the Dell often halts showing the BIOS splash screen.  Some times I've gotten past that, but most times it halts there.

 

I see BIOS 1.0.15 has been released -- is this a fix?  Or should I return the PC to Walmart and get another?

 

Regards,

Paul
