Josef,

I have been following this thread with some interest since I have a
desktop computer with similar symptoms.  This computer had some other
behaviors that point me away from a perfect match, including the fact
that it is not a Dell.  However, I'd be interested in the references
that you found.  If you have the links handy, could you provide them
here or off list?
