This helped me troubleshoot. Thank man. Turns out with that bit of information I figured the graphics card might be bad. But since it's plugged in the computer is losing visual trying to use it. So I took it out and it booted right up and let me log in lol just need a different graphics card. Thanks again!
Had this computer for a long time, had issues in the past with monitors. Don't know a lot about computers. Figured out the vga cable was blocked off and hooked computer up to old emachines monitor. Kept freezing at windows loading screen. Was able to run safe mode after research and not being able to use the F2 or F12 options. After a lot of diagnostics with no success decided to start up with a removal of things and reinstall windows option in safe mode and that almost worked but the computer fell asleep. Tried again on a day where I could monitor it and it was ready to boot up. Now it boots up fast but can't get passed the "transition?" Screen after windows. But access to F2 and F12 were now available. Tried changing some of the setting there but no success.  Tldr: lot of diagnostics saying everything is working fine. After Dell screen and windows loading screen fades away, just a blank screen is showing up.
