If this does not help, then I suggest upgrading the BIOS of your PC to Dell System BIOS 3437A02 which you can get here:

Here are instructions on creating a bootable USB-stick which allows you to boot DOS and perform a BIOS upgrade after booting a USB stick:

The BIOS is the latest in my system.

I don't think that is a reliable way to check if you have the newest BIOS version.

I suggest booting into the BIOS and checking the release version and release date in the BIOS itself.

The BIOS should show the following release date, if it is the newest version:

Release Date: 11/21/2013

October 28 is not the same as November 21....

Did you execute the steps in post #3?

Did post #3 help?

Correction: here is the newest BIOS release for the Inspiron 14 3437 :

I executed the commands from post #3, but didn't help..

I will try BIOS A07

I didn't understand how to make a bootable falsh drive.

And the Bios file is .exe so how can I create a bootable usb using that file.

See post #5

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.

Which post solved the issue?

Did the BIOS upgrade to A07 solve the issue?

Or the firmware packages you installed?
