I upgraded my S7 Edge yesterday to Nougat and since my phone has been on the fritz. Restarting randomly and other odd issues.

Anyways today its not just small issues anymore. as of about an hour ago it doesn't boot at all anymore.

I've tried holding VOL DOWN + POWER for more than 10 seconds.
I've tried holding VOL UP + HOME + POWER for more than 10 seconds.

None of these are doing anything. It's fully charged because it's been plugged in for a while now.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

Ok, quick update. Just after posting I was able to reset it by VOL DOWN + POWER for like 2 minutes, and then it restarted.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix all these problems, such as a downgrade. Is that possible?

I assume you would be able to downgrade. When I was on the beta I downgraded because I missed root.

Or you could try reinstalling nougat and see if that helps.

You can definitely downgrade. I updated to nougat and went back to marshmallow by just flashing the stock MM image

So another update. My phone is completely bricked now. After my last update I was able to do a full restore. It came on, I went through setup. Then about 10 minutes later. I tried to wake it from sleep, nothing happened. Tried VOL UP, VOL DOWN, all the resetting, rebooting, etc... and as of this morning, nothing works.

I'm going into T-Mobile today.
