Welcome to the Dell Community @Goneplumcrazy
In the BIOS go to:
System Configuration:
SATA Operation:
There you have 4 options:
Disable:
ATA:
AHCI:
IRRT:
You may need to try ATA, AHCI or IRRT.
Enable each one.
One at a time.
Save and Exit:
When the system tries to boot choose a "Normal" boot if it is an option.
Best regards,

I'd suggest you reset BIOS to defaults by following steps in link below. Hopefully it will make a difference.

@Goneplumcrazy
Set the BIOS setting to "AHCI" and reinstall the OS.
