Cris do you see the BIOS screen? Do you see anything after that? Bootmenu, "loading windows" or whatever.

Also if see the black screen... has it a cursor on screen (most of time on left top of screen)? If so, is it flashing?

Hey thanks for your response, well it i can go into my bios from when the pc loads up..it comes to the point where the screen is black and it has the little animation of windows 7 loading up, but then just before it's supposed to come up with the log in etc with the blue screen..it turns to black and nothing is to be found..not even the cursor..ive turned it off and rebooted from disc like twice now?..and it installs perfectly, just doesn't want to turn on when the computer installs all the updates for windows.
Thanks

Try this Advanced Boot Options
Do you see the options? If so ... does "safe mode" work?

Hey again cheers for the reply, ive tried safe mode and it still comes up with a black screen..

So windows 7 is actually booting and turns to black screen later, just before logon screen should appear. Totally black, no mouse, no cursor... nothing... just black.

Try to boot to safe mode and tell me what happens

i clicked on "Safe Mode", and it come up with loads of white writting checking windows system 32 drivers then the blue screen and an error saying "Failure configuring Windows updates..reverting and boots it up into safe mode?.

Shit there are still windows updates to be be post configured. Not possible in safe mode.

Did you see "repair your computer" in the menu? after pressing F8
If so activate "repair your computer", logon there and select "system restore". Select the most recent "restore point". So go back to just before the windows updates started to install. Did you install any drivers yourself just before installing windows updates but after last succesfull boot?

If it boots succesfully now: as soon as possible disable automatic updates! Turn automatic updating on or off

post results

I dont see "repair your computer"
It has the options..
Safe Mode
Safe Mode With Networking
Safe Mode With Command Prompt

Enable Boot Logging
Enable Low-res video
Last known good config
Directory Services restore mode..

My experience has been that, as much as you may not want to here this, it is better to reinstall the OS in this type of situation. You can attempt trying to second guess what will work, which is generally very time consuming and very often ends with the "Time to reinstall scenario" anyway.

Regardless of how you handle the current problem, I suggest for future reference, never install updates en masse. Many of them require a reboot and when several updates are attempting to make changes during one reboot there can and very often is conflict. My best practice method is to install updates "one at a time" and when a reboot is required I reboot before proceeding. Of course, this takes longer, but generally prevents conflict problems.

There is one other thing, always backup the system before you begin installing updates!
