Hi Deyerawks,
Sounds like a nice place to live. :emotion-2:
I think you have a hardware problem of some sort. Possibly more than one. Do you see the Dell logo when you start the system? If so, are you able to get into the BIOS (F2) or the boot menu (F12)?

Ok, please try the F12 menu, and select utility partition. I'd like you to run the Dell diagnostics on your system.

Ran Express

Do you have an integrated VGA port? If so, you could try pulling the video card out and run the video from the integrated port. That would allow you to determine if the video card is actually causing the problem.
