PC went into a deep stall (it has been doing since the hard drive was 
replaced--I can't afford another service call).

So the next time I got control back I rebooted it.

And Windows 10 Update took over!   On Friday!

And ran for a long time.

I wandered off and came back to see it stopped on the Dell logo screen.

So I punched the power button (My wife's machine went through a spell 
where it would stop on a reboot until you pushed the power button).

Screen went blank but the disc activity light was on dimly.

After a while. I held down the power button to see is if I could start 
a recovery boot of some kind.

No joy.

Been sitting at the Dell logo with dim disc activity light for a 1/2 
hour or more.

Where might I find help?   That will work?   That I can afford?
