You said the magic words.... any time you order a machine from Dell the FIRST thing to do is flash the bios, as dell parts sit and sit waiting to be used in a build and the bios can be 1 or more versions behind. I recently had a similar issue with Vista and after a quick bios flash all my issues went away.
I would recommend to you as well cdrsubron7, try a bios flash first and foremost, I have found 90% of my errors with Vista (I am in IT and see a TON of them) are cured with bios flashes and driver updates. Since you have apparently done all the driver updates, try the bios flash.
Hope this works for you...
