It sounds possible that your battery is dying, and so lost/reset your CMOS settings. Maybe your default CMOS settings contain 3.5 inch floppy installed, except you have no floppy drive.

Have you noticed lag in your windows clock?

Try entering your BIOS setup by pressing either F1,F2, or Del during post.

See if your computer hangs or resets while on this screen.

Because you are getting system hangs and pixelated screens during BIOS setup sessions, this appears to be a hardware issue.

Based on four pieces of information.....

-Your CMOS can become damaged by unstable power.

-Your system has a dell propriotary PSU likely cheap and poorly designed with respect to named brands (who specialize in PSU manufacturing). This supply could lack the good quality power good signalling and filter circuits nescesarry for stable system operation (especially with age).

-Issues with system power up and crashes.

-PSU's are the most common failures in PC's.

 

The next component you could look to troubleshoot is the power supply.
