Have a Dell GX620. Turn on computer bios will load. Then windows icon will show and start to load but then goes to black screen and nothing happens.
 
Solution
May be your computer is using UEFI boot and there is no entry for a UEFI optcial drive boot. Some BIOS's allow the user to reboot into a specific device, check if you don't have that option.

Disabling "safe boot" or whatever the thing is called may also enable you to boot from other devices.
Did you recently update Windows or a video driver? Try using system restore. To do that, try pressing F8 during boot to get to advanced boot options. Some computers will use a different shortcut, but it is usually described as "Press XX to enter setup or YY for boot options".
 
F8 and F12 will not work. Only F2 the bios setup can i get to. I tried putting the Dell recovery disk in and even tried putting the Windows disc in and nothing. Went into Bios setup and put the disc drive as the first to boot from to try and get the discs to load and install. And still nothing.
