is the POST ok from the computer ( the power on self test) if you got an error : post the error , so we can see what the problem is.
you can also try ( after the DELL logo) to press F12, in the menu you choose diagnostics, press enter.
post the screen here after it's done.
other sollution : try to boot with a windows live cd. ( if you don't have one, search the internet on windows 7 iso ( if it is a windows 7 that you have) . Download the ISO en burn it on a bootable DVD.
reboot with the dvd. ( Don't forget to change the boot priority in the UEFI or BIOS)
after that try to do system recovery. ( You'll loose all data after the last backup.)
I think it will be a bad hard disk.
if it is : we can help you guide trough a clean install of windows and i and other mebers of this comunity can explain how to get your data back of the broken hard dsik.
good luck and let us know.

you can enter following commands , restart after every command is finished.

probably the boot sector failed.
