Scott,

If that's your complete log, then it's locking up within the driver when
it's detecting your attached monitors, whether that be LCD, CRT or DFP.

Now - what have you got connected at boot time ?

Also, it's probably worth checking Dell to see if their is an updated
BIOS for your machine too.
