Hi Danielffs,
Inspiron 14z comes in two variants, Inspiron N411z and Inspiron 5423.
Please share the exact model.
Also, run the diagnostics. You may try any of the following methods to run the diagnostics:
Or
If possible, provide a picture of the ‘Boot’ tab on the ‘BIOS’ screen.

Hi Danielffs,
The settings are correct in the BIOS and also as the diagnostics passed, you may try restoring the system factory settings.
Before restoring the system, go to the BIOS screen and press F9 key to load defaults.
Once done, refer to the link below for the steps to restore the system to factory settings.
The link is http://dell.to/154u25A
To get to the ‘Troubleshoot’ screen follow the below steps and then continue from step 6 onward to restore the system to factory settings.
Note: The above steps delete any data on the system and re image the system to factory settings.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may have to re install the operating system using the discs.
Keep me posted with the results. I will be glad to assist you further.

Hi Danielffs,
Disable ‘Secure Boot’ option in the BIOS.
If the system is shipped with mSATA drive, make sure the ‘SATA Operations’ is set to ‘ISRT’ or ‘RAID’.
If there is no mSATA drive, the option should be set to ‘AHCI’.
The option for ‘SATA Operations’ is available in the 'Advanced Tab' on the BIOS screen.
Keep me posted with the results. I will be glad to assist you further.
