I removed all the Dell named DXE modules to see if maybe there was some default drivers that were being blocked by Dell's. The laptop still boots.. to a point. but I'm guessing one of those modules contain the OS boot handoff. So it just sits there with a blank screen. (It does access my USB drive, and tests the hard drive. Plus Ctrl-Alt-Del resets the system. So it's not completely dead, just confused. 
As for recovery, I'm going to take the backup battery out to see if maybe there's some residual configuration settings causing it to hang, if that doesn't work, and no other known recovery method works, I'll have Dell overnight me a new motherboard thanks to their expensive Accidental Damage program I
