The computer in question is a Dell Latitude, used by my wife and kids. Windows 10 installed before we purchased it. Worked as expected , but then it experienced rough handling and drops.

Freezes some time after passing BIOS screen . Only black on screen, no error messages. No change of condition for at least 30 min - tested several times. Turning on and off between 4 to 12 times makes it load the OC and operate normally. Trying to boot from a Flash drive produces a freeze too. I disassembled the available panels and tried to eliminate loose connections.

Any advice or pointers appreciated.
