Can anyone help. My Dell Inspiron N4020 notebook won't boot past the initial Dell screen. all it does and sit on a black screen with a blinking white cursor. I can hit F2 set up and F12 boot options but that's it. It was acting up yesterday where it would boot up and then shut down right away and now it won't even boot. Any help would be appreciated!
Mother board is cra#.

Hi,
No this should hopefully not come back It can be due to lots of different reasons.
Please make sure to press the option on Fixya that shows that I solved this for you! Appreciate it! :)
Thanks!

reinstall your windows if cannot repair windows. that is due to corrupted files in windows.

I should also add that I've tried hitting F8 after the BIOS screen and nothing happens.
I was hoping there might be something else I can try to diagnose what the problem really is. The Pre-boot diagnostic tests all passed.
I'm having the same problem, Dell Inspirion 1300, Won't go past the BiOS and Dell loading screen. Can't run Diagnostics, Can't go to any of the F2, F12, F8 Commants.. Just sits at a black screen with a white cursor at the top left corner.
