I have seen this problem before a few times. But wasn't with a Dell, and I can't remember what caused the problem. I should keep logs, but I'm too lazy. I think before it was a hard drive issue. I know this may sound strange, but have you considered changing the CMOS battery? How old it the computer? I have seen bad CMOS batteries do stranger things, but it may be worth a try. I am curious if you dissconnect the hard drive, how long does it take to ask for a boot device?
