Do you have stuff you would like to back up in case it gets deleted?

Hello HisBeauty4Ashes,

In addition to what Richard has said, I would suggest you to run the hardware diagnostics and check the hardware functionality.

Run the test and check if gives any error code. Note down the error code and update me with the same, would let you know the next course of action.

Hello HisBeauty4Ashes,

Please help me understand what exactly happens when you try to initiate the diagnostics. Also mention the system model of the Dell Desktop with your reply.
