Do you get the Dell logo? http://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?&docid=DSN_300428&isLegacy=true
"Restart the system.
At the Dell logo screen, press F12.
Note:
Some systems do not have an F12 key, to access the boot options you have to press the <0> (zero) key at the Dell logo screen.
At the One Time Boot menu, press the Down arrow key to highlight Diagnostics, then press Enter to begin PSA.
Write down any error codes listed.
Use the list provided in the next section to see what the error code means... "

Another diagnostics shows error code 0F00:1332
MSG: Disk - Block 384: Interrupt request (IRQ) did not set in time
This was during a SATA Disk S/N = WD - WXH1A10J6134 - Confidence Test
Performing the drive’s internal self - test. Performing a read test at the beginning of the media ?? (can’t see the rest of the comment. It’s behind a scroll bar that won’t scroll)
