Try restoring your system bios to factory default and this may fix your problem. If not- post again with results and we'll go from there.

Entering System Setup

Turn on your computer.

When the blue DELL logo is displayed watch for the F2 prompt to appear (black screen / white text).

Once this F2 prompt appears, immdiately press F2 .

The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized and is detected. This prompt can appear very quickly. Watch for it to display as the screen powers up, and then press F2. If you press F2 before you are prompted, this keystroke will be lost. There is a small window of time to do this before Windows starts.
If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then, shut down your computer and try again to enter setup. At setup check your bios version. It may need to be flashed (upgraded). Select load factory defaults to see if that will resolve your PCI issues.

    I did not mention anything about restoring Windows. You can do a Windows system restore to an earlier time by useing Windows restore, but before you do that (and I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do that), I gave instructions on how to restore your default BIOS settings. That stands for Basic Input / Output Settings. This will help ensure that your hardware is properly detected before Windows starts up. Why did you give a three thumbs up before you get a final solution? Anything less than a four thumbs up is basically a negative rating. Please re-read what I posted and if this is not something you feel you're able to do, then I suggest you don't attempt it. You say you did a restore, but I have no clue what "restore" you did.

How do i unlock my dell keyboard?

Dell Inspiron 530s keyboard unlock
Is the keyboard usb or ps2? If its usb then try another port. If its ps2(Green) then power down the pc by holding in the power button for 8 to 10 seconds. Pull the plug and make sure no pins are bent. Plug it back in and boot back up. This should fix the problem if its ps2. Regards

Inspiron 530S Power Save Mode Loop

First you need to make sure that there are no other removable devices plug on the system, like usb, external hard drives, then if that will work try to go to the bios, press f2 when you see the dell logo, and go to the system setup, go to the boot device configuration and make sure that removable device is not the first boot device, if it is the first one choose hard disk and then second boot device ad cd rom/dvd rom and then disable the 3rd boot and the fourth boot device. Make sure to save the changes. And restart the system again. Once the computer is back and running try to go to support.dell.com and check the bios, download if there is a bios update for the system.

I have a new Dell Inspiron 530s and upgraded to the S510 silver wireless mouse and keyboard. I have been unable to set the system up because I can't get the mouse to work. I called Dell and they told me...

Certainly, its true... First make your system up with wired mouse and keyboard and then try installing wireless mouse and keyboard drivers on it... it's only for first time and after that you can use your wireless mouse and keyboard as default...
