    Windows Boot : goes into black screen and no bios, freezes.


    Few days ago i was having trouble logging into windows, it would stop on the loading screen after i enter my login credentials. so i tried fixing it by going into safeboot menu and what not, but i couldn't get in. so i kept hitting the power button after it goes into "starting windows" with the logo and stuff. eventually it turned on black. no 'no signal' but after a bit of fiddling when i boot up, the monitor light up, just nothing is showing. I have tested the memory, gpu, i don't think it's the hdd becuz pc didnt boot up even without it. dunno what the problem is. bios is not showing up, i guess that's the biggest problem.any suggestion is appreciated

    On the motherboard there should be a BIOS reset jumper.

    Try it.

    Hi,
    Doesn't sound good either a total power failure or cpu is toasted :/
    If you have another machine remove the hdd and put it inside a external enclosure and see if the other machine sees the hdd although if no bios at all I'd lean more to the first 2 issues

    The HDD was recognized by my other PC. I tried booting without a HDD and it still goes to black screen. Idk what else to do. I might bread board it and just see if I can fix it by taking it apart and build it back. Hit me up with more suggestions, I need as much help as i can get.

    Hi,
    The only test I know of for a power supply is to replace it and dell might be another issue they are pretty anal about which ones might be compatible connections wise

    Do the fans or anything come on when you startup ?

    Hi,
    Well lets try to shut down and unplug it or remove the battery
    Then hold down the power button for at least one minute that will drain any existing power from the mother board.

    After that plug it back up and see if it will act any differently :/
