[QUOTE="Bavo, post: 361271, member: 38782"] Just spoke to a Dell technician: he suggested to remove the (CMOS) battery (litterally: turn it up side down for a second or two to create a small shortage, which should completely reset the internal firmware values, and check if you can reboot). He also suggested that boot options not appearing could have something to do with the secure boot feature, so I should disable that when i have access again. Finally he said that uefi bios implementation on the dell desktops is 'behind the times': they themselves usually revert to BIOS/MBR because of frequent problems. And all this straight from a Dell tech: at least he's forthcoming... Next friday i have access to this machine, I'll let you know. Best, Bavo [/QUOTE]
