The dell logo will appear when the monitor is turned on, before it gets a signal, so i would sat the monitor is probably ok.
What other symptoms appear as the PC is powered up?
Noise? Lights? Drive activity?

far greater than OS corruption if your description is accurate.

f12 BRINGS WHITE WRITING ON GRAY BACKGROUND. tHE ARROW KEYS OF THE KEYBOARD WORK. tHE (ENTER) WORKS WITH SOME of the choices, but not most of them. Pushing the F12 button when the Dell logo comes on causes a beep from the keyboard.
F2 brings white writing on a gray background(Dell computer). The date and time are correct and the seconds tick off. The CPU(no. 11) responds to <enter> and reads "normal speed." The escape button works.

Start the PC and when you see the DELL Logo, tap the f8 key once a second...do you get a text based menu allowing safe mode?

In F2, #3, "hard drive", pressing <enter> also gets the "keyboard failure" message.
