    Do you have any flashing lights on the front where the power button is or does it make any beeping sounds? Take note and post what you observe to try and point you in the right direction here.

    Were you having issues of some sort before this? What version of Windows?

    try to press I think F5 or F8 a bunch right as its on the dell screen.. do it non-stop for 10 seconds.. might be able to load windows in safe mode.. and run diagnostic mode. check all your cables and connections are tight.. even inside the computer case.. maybe something got loose. if those dont work, maybe use a boot cd to bypass harddrive.. to get into windows.. I used to know this stuff, but its been years..

    +1, F8 after the dell splash will bring up a boot menu. Last known good configuration could also work.
