tried to download windows 10 to my late 2012 mac mini and now it wont turn on

I have a late 2012 mac mini. I wanted to install Windows 10 on it so I installed it through Boot Camp. As far as I'm aware, the download and partitioning was successful but then it restarted my computer and now it won't start up. It turns on and makes the start up noise, but nothing shows up on the monitor. I've already left the monitor unplugged and also tried to unplug the power source but it doesn't seem to work.

I also updated what had seemed to be a security update. It also made my computer have a gray screen for over an hour before I finally restarted it and everything was perfectly fine up until I tried to install Windows 10.

If you still have the mac partition, you can boot from there - restart, hold ALT/Option key down until you see the partitions. Boot from the Mac side and see if Disk Utility can see both partitions.
