Hi,

As a temporary solution, you might consider downgrading the BIOS to version 1.20.0. Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Browse to the Drivers & Downloads page.

  2. If you are asked to "Identify your product," then either enter your Service tag, or select "Browse for a product" to select manually.

  3. If the system shown is incorrect, click "View a different product" and again either enter your Service tag or Browse manually.

  4. If the correct system is already selected, then in the drop-down menus, choose the BIOS Category.

  5. If a different version of the BIOS is required from the one shown, click Other versions available, a box opens below.

  6. Select the required BIOS version then click Download File.

  7. Save the file to the Desktop for or a preferred location.

  8. When ready, right-click the downloaded file and select "Run as administrator," follow the on-screen instructions.

Have you updated the system bios? If so, what version did you install?

Hi,

Just to notify, someone in my family have an Inspiron 5000 and have the exact same error message.

Happy to see it's not a faulty RAM or any hardware issue!
