Win 10 reset

Instructing my system to keep my files, I reset win 10. I returned back to the computer and booted up. Nothing happened, not even booted into the bios screen. Advice, please.

Model? Laptop or desktop?
If your data is important, before you do anything else, back it up. If you cannot access it, you will need to remove the drive a connect it to a second PC. It's time consuming but depending on what the problem is you risk losing everything.

Custom built pc. Nothing on the hd is important.

Can you see anything at all when you press the power button? If not, removing the CMOS battery for a minute or so usually helps.

There is a light from where the ethernet cable fits and the dvd drives .

Apart from any lights, I was referring to what's on the monitor, if anything. Also, any unusual beep?

Nothing at all.

have you tried pressing F2 repeatedly as soon has you power on? (may be del key depending on the BIOS)

I'd try a different monitor/screen, and/or try connecting these directly to the motherboard (not via the GPU) in case there is some sort of graphics driver issue that is stopping the GPU from rendering to your monitor. Some motherboards also have a small section for error lights (tiny red or green LEDs, usually near the motherboard power connection) that flash or light up in response to certain problems - check your manual as this could also potentially shed light on your issue.
