It really seems like it's trying to tell me something with that caps lock light, but I don't speak its language.

That sounds like a power problem I had with a work-issued Dell. Try tightening all of the screws on the bottom of the computer (no need to open anything) and look to see if some might be missing. This is apparently a common problem with certain Dell models.
