You may
need to roll back system with System Restore. Under Safe Mode (press F8
during boot and choose Safe Mode).
Win 7 -
Start > Search type System Restore.
XP - Is
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Restore. Now choose a
date prior to problem. You may have to try a few dates.
Uninstall
last program(s) that was installed, again in safe mode.
Try
disabling startup programs. Go to Start > Run (search in Win 7) and type
MSConfig. In Startup tab, uncheck anything that you don't want Windows to
load automatically. It will make Windows boot faster and use less resources
while running. This just disables them in startup. Programs will still load,
but when only you initiate.

Get a motherboard manual from Dell.com.
Look for jumper 1.
remove jumper 1.
Power on.
Wait till PC powered on then power off.
Replace jumper.
this will reset ALL BIOS setting including password.
Please let me know if this helps.

If you boot from the XP CD and choose the first repair option it will load to a DOS prompt. From there type "chkdsk /r" and press enter. This will run checkdisk on your hard drive and repair any problems that it finds. It will take 45 minutes or more depending on the size of your drive. Once it finishes type exit to reboot and remove the CD. Your computer should boot normally.

HERE is the documentation straight from Dell. It gives the explanation of the beep codes and other diagnostic information like what the lights mean. It's the best place to start.
