On most startups the DELL logo fails to display and I am unable to use the F2 or F12 function keys to get to the BIOS sector or the diagnostics screen. If I press any function key anyway, the boot sequence freezes and remains in stasis until the esc key is pressed. Then the system proceeds to a normal startup...
Anybody else having this problem? ( DELL Inspiron 3471 )

My device is not a laptop. It's a DELL Inspiron 3571, and I never turn it off while in sleep mode. Also, I don't use "fast startup" as I am not in any big hurry when I sign on...
Please check if your BIOS is up to date. The latest can be downloaded here.
You mentioned most startups, so I will assume there are times when you are able to go into BIOS. Please use Restore settings/Load defaults to restore the BIOS settings to Factory defaults.
