Hi,

Fired up my PC this morning and was prompted to install updates from windows update. Checked the list, there was 11 important updates available. I unchecked and hid the Nvidia-update as i want to do updates to my GPU's myself. Installed the remaining 10,
completed and was prompted to restart my PC.

Here the problems starts i am no longer able to boot into windows.

It get's past the bios screen, shows the blue flag with the spinning circle below and then......nothing but a black screen and my screen goes into sleep mode.

I have tried booting into safe mode in minimal mode by using a command prompt (bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal) from the repair option of my installation disc but it will not even boot into safe mode.

I run without system restore enabled so that option is not valid for me.

The system is now checking the disc for errors but it seems to hang there as well as it has been going for more than 2 hours now.......

Any way i can revert the updates from outside windows? Any other suggestions that resetting from the install disc?

Spec: Evga x58 Classified 3, Intel i7 950, 2x Geforce GTX 580 in SLI, 12gb Corsair Dominator GT DDR3, Corsair Force 3 SSD 128gb, Dell u2711 2560x1440. Win 8 Pro x64, all fully updated with latest drivers. PC was working flawlessly up to this Point.

Dissapointed that "important updates" from Microsoft kills my working machine.
