Update your BIOS if you haven't already, and check if VT-d is enabled in 
BIOS settings. Also, sometimes it can help to see what workarounds 
others with similar models have had to do in the HCL 
(https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/). Don't see any Dell G5s, but maybe 
compare against other Dell models from the same time-frame.


Another idea would be trying an external monitor in case the video 
timing is out of bound for the built-in panel (I had such an issue with 
my monitor).

Well, most mobile cams allow setting the resolution; if not, you could 
still use software like GIMP to downscale the images or use a JPEG 
quality less than 99. That should result in images of reasonable size.

Despite of that you could try to "unsharp mask" blurry images.
Even better maybe: Hold the mobily steady before when you expect to make 
a shot. Then just make the shot...
