You could try resetting current BIOS on this PC to Load Optimal Defaults but copy down all current settings first, to be safe.
And are you sure about that BIOS update file? When I look on the support page for the Inspiron 3505, BIOS v1.9.0 is listed as the latest update, so why are you only trying to update to v.1.7.0?
Are you sure using a USB stick formatted with gnome will be compatible with the BIOS flash update?
Most small USB sticks (eg 2 GB) are already formatted FAT32. So I don't think you need to format it with gnome.
Suggest you try downloading the .exe BIOS file using a Windows PC, and saving it directly onto a different USB stick that's already formatted FAT32 (but not by gnome), or you format it yourself using a Windows PC.

I tried with the bios v1.9.0 file too, but the same problem was also there. In fact, first I tried with the bios v1.9.0 file.
