I own a Dell Optiplex 760 from 2009 and I have the exact same problem on
Debian Jessie (running kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64).

I have been running BIOS version A04 (from 2009) and just upgraded to
the latest A16 BIOS version.

I can keep you informed if this fixes the ugly bug.

FYI, I did the following to upgrade the BIOS, took me around 5mins:

- copied an USB FreeDOS 1.1 image onto an empty USB drive. I used this one 
(don't forget to bunzip2):

- copied the latest O760-A15.exe BIOS update file for my Dell 760 onto the 
thumbdrive
- booted into FreeDOS and ran the bios update
