    Boot Issue after Windows Update (Boot GUI turned off)


    I might be in big trouble here, but I'm hoping someone can help.

    I turned off my computer, which triggered a bunch of updates. A few days later when I turn it on it doesn't boot (and/or asks for input that I can't see due to having turned off the boot GUI a while back).

    So I have a blank screen right now that I can't get passed.

    What I've tried

    Double checking all the hardware (Ram, GPU etc).

    Tried to hit F8 on startup to get to safe mode. Since I can't see, i've made an educated guess on which opton is Last Known Configuration and tried that a bunch to no avail.

    Tried to hit F2 to get to the Bios.

    Tried to start it up with a Windows 7 Recovery Disk...again I don't know if this was successful as I can't see anything.



    I know I'm stupid to have turned off the GUI, and wishing I could go back in time to fix it.

    Help?

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    I've never had the guts to try that
    Possibly just wait a while on the black screen and enter the password and the enter key will work :?

    Prior to this issue it was awesome in that the computer booted to the login screen in <10 seconds.

    Not so awesome right now.
