Windows update ran and rebooted the computer several times. Now all I get is a blank screen. I can hold down the power button for 4 seconds and it will shut off. Turning it back on just gives the blank screen and it doesn't even POST. I can't find any extra reset button other than the power button. I tried booting off the Windows 10 DVD, but nothing happened. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, like maybe there's some way to force a hard reset? Any ideas would be appreciated. It's an MSI CR 720 running Windows 10 home x64.

It's possible that the HDD/SSD died.

I'd try taking some of the RAM out if you can. A bad stick could cause this behavior too.
