You may run a diagnostic test on your computer to ensure the correct functionality of system hardware. For more information on running diagnostics, you may refer to link: http://dell.to/OUGnqT
If the diagnostics pass, you may load the BIOS defaults by following the steps below:
Restart the computer.
As soon as you see the Dell logo, start tapping the ‘F2’ key on top of the keyboard.
If you wait too long and the Microsoft Windows appears, then continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Now shutdown your computer and try again.
After this a new window would appear. You can only use the arrow keys of the keyboard to navigate between the options as the mouse is not functional in this mode.
Press F9 to load defaults and F10 to save and exit.
Restart your computer and see if the issue persists.
It passed the diagnostics and then I did the BIOS load with no success. After rebooting I received "Reboot and select roper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot
How would I know if it is? Would there be something specific that says 'hard drive"? It shows system memory, L1-L3 CPU Cache, and a few other things but nothing about "hard drive" thanks

Go into the BIOS setup - is the hard drive detected? F2 at powerup.
