Inspiron 3470, Windows 10 boot failure

I got an Inspiron 3470 just before Christmas. Worked great for 2 weeks then refused to boot after POST. Thought it a one off and restored Windows 10 from scratch and loaded all my programs again. Now it has happend again. Following POST just a black screen. Been through Support Assist which reported the failure as OS_BOOT_FAILURE. No problems found in further checks. Went through DISKPART and bootrec fixes. But still will not boot. I can reinstall Windows again and I am sure it will work. But I think it will just fail again after several weeks. Updated BIOS to 2.14.0.

Any suggestions?

clean install on new hard drive is recommended

Old drive and SSD should be removed.

There are no soft fixes for physically bad drives.
