Windows 10: Computer totally dead

I have a Dell XPS 15 (L521X) running Windows 10. Yesterday I ran a windows update with the pc plugged in. When I came back to the computer, the screen was black and would not respond to me turning it on via the power button. Even the battery indicator light doesn’t work.

How do I fix this?

Building a computer for a friend

Any reason for listing the 3820? Socket 2011 is total overkill for what your looking for. Socket AM3+ would be more appropriate.

My build suggestion, just pick a case your friend likes the looks of. System Builder
