If anyone is still having issues, use BIOS recovery using these steps:
Restart the computer.
Press and hold the CTRL + ESC key on the keyboard until keyboard backlight lights up. (Release the CTRL + ESC key on the keyboard when keyboard backlight lights up.)
Note: Computers that do not have a backlit keyboard, observe the Caps lock key light instead.
On the BIOS Recovery screen, select Reset NVRAM (if available) and press the Enter key. Select Disabled and press the Enter key to save the current BIOS settings.
Note: If Reset NVRAM is not available, go to step 4.
Select Recover BIOS and press the Enter key to start the recovery process.
NOTE:
Your Dell computer may restart a few times during the process of BIOS recovery.
Depending on unit BIOS, the choice of Recover BIOS or Load BIOS Defaults changes.
The CTRL + ESC key combination can be used to trigger BIOS recovery on computers where an external keyboard is the primary input. This applies to Dell desktops, all-in-one computers, and laptops. Link to KB article covering this is here.
In case the system cannot be recovered continue to follow the linked KB article and look at the steps for how to recover the BIOS with a USB drive.
If you do have to recover the bios using a USB drive, BIOS 1.1.26 can be downloaded here
After the system has been recovered, as of this post, the latest BIOS is 1.1.28 which can be found here
JOcean pretty much covered this with links provided, but just adding here in case.
