Evan Huus, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/product/inspiron-530 an
update is available for your BIOS (1.0.18). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

As well, not all end results are noted in a BIOS update, as vendors
typically only focus on Windows. Hence, I wouldn't use the BIOS release
notes as your sole data point.

Thank you for your understanding.
