Hi,
With Optiplex 740, i've successfull install ubuntu 14.04 from livecd.
This is how :
No need to upgrade BIOS.
Create your boot live cd AND a boot live usbkey  with the exact same distribution.
And it woks for me.

Lucky... as i am ;)

Title:
  LiveCD freeze on Dell Optiplex 740

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When booting on a LiveCD and selecting any choice (or not pressing on
  any key), the PC hangs on the blinking cursor "_".

  Affected computer : DELL OPTIPLEX 740

  WORKAROUND: Add "mem=1G" to the boot options. The LiveCD should then
  boot normally. Please note that this option is not necessary when
  Ubuntu is installed.

  WORKAROUND: The best solution so far is to go into the BIOS (press F2
  when the PC first turns on) and under PERFORMANCE menu disable C
  STATES CONTROL.

  AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
