WIN 8.1 - Machine had been working fine for months, then...
1.) Display went blank.
2.) Turned computer off then back on and display returned to operation.
3.) Ran for about 30 minutes then went blank again. Able to access HD from 2nd computer via network
4.) Turned computer off then back on but display still blank.
5.) Attempted to reboot in SAFE MODE but couldn't. DELL Logo was displayed then blank screen.
6.) Used F12 and decided to try LEGACY BOOT MODE.
7.) Now computer won't do anything! No DELL logo and cannot access HD via network anymore.
8.) Used RECOVERY USB stick, some HD activity for awhile but otherwise dead screen
9.) Feel like I've dug a hole that I cannot escape from!
