    Had to reformat and the cds to reinstall as well as the drivers on dells site arent finding the hardware when installing.

    Install cannot continue
    This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

    Anybody able to get past this it would be greatly appreciated as I've heard of several people with the same issue. Thank you!

    You have to install the intel graphics drivers first to my knowledge, then you can install the nvidia ones.

    For me, I'd just either restart before install the driver or reflash the BIOS, then restart then install the driver, and as for this case I'd suggest you reflash your BIOS then try again.

    Well, nothing hard, just download the A05 BIOS and double click it to reflash, it's like reinstall or install it.

    This sound bad, I guess your motherboard is faulty or something because that GT555M is buid-in on the board itself and if it cant detect then it mean either the driver/BIOS is corrupt however since you did what I told you and it still didnt fix, so my final suggestion would be call Dell for support.
