Before installing drivers, you must use a Windows disc to install Windows.

Hello Warren,
To understand the issue and help you further, I would request you to help me with few details about the issue.
-- What exactly is happening when you turn on the computer?
-- Do you see a black screen with a blinking cursor?
-- What is the Operating System?
-- What is the System Model?
Run a hardware diagnostics to check if there is any hardware failure.
-- Restart the computer.
-- Keep tapping F12 key on the Dell Logo screen.
-- From One Time Boot Menu, select Diagnostics and press Enter.
-- If the test fails please capture the Error Code and write back to us would be glad to assist with the next course of action.
