I did download the drivers directly from the manufacturer:
1st - SAPPHIRE HD 7790 1GB GDDR5 DUAL-X OC
2nd - AMD Catalyst? Display Driver
3rd time I allowed AMD auto-detect to install the driver for me.
& it has updated to revision 13.9 since then.
I experience this problem so I thought I would suggest a possible reason for it. In my case it is to do with a firmware update on my SSD which caused the problem. Apparently it caused a malfunction of the boot manager, so a restart while operating causes BIOS to lose the SSD as it will not show up at all.
A Shut Down & then a few minutes later starting the computer again works perfectly.
So could the OP's problem be caused by a boot manager problem on his hard drive. This is an area that I know little about but though my tuppence worth might help.
At this point my SSD is not repairable so I am going to change it.

No Worries - a little of the jargon my relatives picked up down under.:)
Since I'm replacing so many components decided to go ahead & get the SSD too. So when it arrives will be doing a clean install of Windows. Seems to be some reservations on the Dell Forum regarding enabling AHCI not affecting the optical drives. Really gonna mess this PC up.
Hopefully the clean install will fix my AMD driver issues. If not maybe I can contact Sapphire?
Yes mate jus remember to make sure the ACHI is set before you install and turn off the defrag and do it manually for any spinners and also do not do chkdsk's on it. I think I am right in saying that Windows will pickup the SSD when you do abut you can always go in and check the TRIM is set it isn't hard to do that.
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
Make Sure TRIM Is Enabled for Your Solid State Drive in Windows 7 for Better Performance

I asked this question back in post #10 and I haven't been able to find the answer. Could someone guide me to the answer.?

What power supply are you using at this time.
This has me confused also. I know nothing about a Dell M/B.

Hmm... Not plugging anything into the front panel switches, they came already attached the MOBO.
I'm trying to understand when this computer gets fixed what fixed it. At the present time my 3 brain cell haven't grasped the answer yet.
Well Bear I did back in post#2 but the only answer was that the OP got a new Corsair CX500 and that it was noisy a couple of posts later.
You are right about Dell boards too they can be quite a mystery so I decided not to go there.
I guess t is wait and see time.
I have never seen a motherboard you didn't have to plug in the power switch on the tower (case).
Power supply = Corsair Builder Series CX500 as ICit2lol said, the first was noisy & replaced. The new one is quiet.
Here is the front panel for the mini tower which is my PC - nothing to plug in:
Here is the front panel for the Full Tower which does require disconnecting:
The fix apparently was removing the AMD drivers &/or Catalyst Control Center.
