Black screen with movable cursor

On startup my Dell laptop goes to a black screen with a moveable cursor.  Can get it to "preparing automatic repair" mode by powering on and off a few times but then it still ends up with the black screen and movable cursor. Tried a few suggestions found here but still  no luck. Is there anything specific I should try?

      Blackscreen of death after preparing automatic repair
      By Henry
      Hello,i've recently encountered a problem with starting my Laptop(lenovo Ideapad100).2 days ago,it suddenly froze while i was watching a video so i ended up doing a hard reset.Now,its permanently stuck in a black screen after it tries to run automatic repair.I have tried plenty of the solutions suggested by other people such as hard-resetting it 3 times(apparently this is a very common solution but it
      wont trigger the menu for me) before it shows the lenovo logo but this doesnt help at all since it wont let me access any safe booting menu of the sort.
      I cant access Bios or anything.I have already tried pressing all the keys during the normal start before it goes into black screen mode but none of them trigger any sort of menu.I also installed and mounted a windows 10 installer on my USB but the laptop just ignores it and wont let me choose any option either.
      I'm quite desperate since i have some important files in this laptop.Sorry for my awful english and thanks in advance.

      Black Screen of Death
      By Centigrade
      Hi,
      Today completely out of the blue my computer screen turned black and wouldn’t  boot up. I’ve been mashing buttons for about an hour and nothing has worked. I’ve been turning it on and off again but all that happens is that it turns on to a black screen. There is no cursor. I can hear my computer fans but nothing comes up on the screen. I’m on Windows 10. Any help is much appreciated!
