Update causing the computer does not start...

I downloaded the last windows update last night and now my computer will not boot even upward... to have to borrow another computer to try to find an answer!  I don't know even what updates have been downloaded, because I did it just before closing down.  I have Windows Vista 64-bit. What should I do?

mizchevas01,
As Paviro suggested, you should try to start in Safe Mode.  If you are able to do it then you can try a system restore to an earlier date updates.  So, I suggest that you install the updates one at a time (make a note of which one, you install every time) and see if the problem occurs again.  If you know one that has the problem and this will help solve the problem.
You should also check that all your drivers are up-to-date.  You should go to the website of the hardware manufacturer to obtain the latest drivers. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

    This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

    There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

    If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

  • Unfinished system recovery - the computer does not start

    I have a laptop Packard Bell EasyNote who was running slowly and decided to do a restore of the system using a restore CD I created for it (no disc has been provided by the vendors, some instructions on how to create a). In order to start from scratch, I decided to do a full restore, which means wipe the existing drive. I booted from the restore CD and everything seemed to go well until part way through it asked me to insert disk 2. I don't have one of the drives. Now, the system does not at all - it comes up with an error that BOOTMGR is missing and hangs up. I don't know what to do now. I tried searching for downloads on the site of PAckard Bell, but apparently not my particular model from the list. I tried to look on the Microsoft Web site, but it does not seem to recognize the product identifier on the Microsoft label on the base of the laptop. I don't know what to do to recover a working laptop.

    Hey Pete Skett

    problem with the packard bell recovery media, or how it was made by yourself you will need to contact them for support

    It's their recovery process and the media

    http://IL.PackardBell.com/PB/en/IL/content/support

    I suggest that you ask them to send you a set of vista recovery disks that they should have for a nominal dollar cost and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to perform a recovery to factory standards

    If you have a recovery partition, it will save you money

    You can press F11 on startup to see if you can enter the recovery partition recovery process, if you still

    Nothing helps, what's the problem?

    Hirurgrrr, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you are experiencing is caused by the fact that the GTX 960 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The last series of video cards that does not need UEFI is the GT 640.

  • Uninstalled McAfee, now the computer does not start - crashes at MUP. SYS

    Hi new to the forums here - I'm pretty desperate at this point - here's the game:

    I guess that the problem lies with the uninstall - never had any problems before and did a reinstall of fees<1 year="" ago. ="" computer="" is="" only="" used="" as="" htpc="" and="" occasional="" web="">

    McAfee, asked me to reboot after uninstall so I agreed.  I assumed that I would run the McAfee removal tool once the computer has been restarted, but now my computer freezes right on a black screen after the initial startup.  When I boot in safe mode, the computer hangs on the last file MUP. SYS.  I have left on all night, still will not get past the MUP. SYS

    I have run chkdsk and found 0 errors.  I also followed the indications of MS here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 does not.  I used Hiren boot and back up my data.

    Running XP MCE 2005 cumulative 2 - SP3.  The computer is a Sony Vaio - so I did not have a full XP disk, only the recovery discs (thanks to strip sony!).  I downloaded a copy of the recovery console which I can boot to.  Is there a way I can run the MCPR.exe since the recovery console?  What else could be the cause? Thank you very much!

    PS I also unplugged all devices except for my keyboard and mouse.

    Unfortunately I do not know which files to delete McAfee.  I guess there could be hundreds of them.

    I sincerely apologize for bad reading you post. The problem was more than likely caused by the process of uninstalling McAfee. Hang up on MUP. SYS actually has nothing to do with the Ministry of the INTERIOR. SYS file. It is simply the last file loaded by windows when an attempt to start in safe mode has been selected. There are a number of issues that can cause this error. As I said above, in your case, it was likely to McAfee.

    Follow the instructions below carefully to perform a restore of the system using Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (MSDaRT). You will need a computer to work with a working cd rom and a dvd/CD blank.

    CD blank insert in your cd/dvd burner. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset and right click erd50.iso, select and then copy the image to a CD . Follow the instructions in this link to complete the creation of the bootable cd.

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/HOWTO.htm

    Once completed, restart the PC with the cd in the drive and start over the cd to verify that it works correctly. If successful in the computer non-Boot.

    Boot with the cd and when prompted, connect to the operating system (should show C:\windows).

    Once connected, click Start > system tools > system restore
    The interface of the system restore opens where you can choose to restore the system to an earlier time.

    Select the restore point, follow the guests and restart when prompted, remove the cd during the reboot.

  • Pavilion HPE h8-1330z CTO: video card dying fan, tried to replace the card, the computer does not start

    This Pavilion comes preinstalled with a nVidia GeForce GT 630 graphics card. The fan on the card goes bad - the card smells "burny" when I run, the fan works really hard and the computer crashes while playing graphics-heavy games.

    I tried replacing a PNY Verto GeForce GT 730 2048 MB DDR3 card. But now, with the Verto installed, my flag starts, it crashes just on the HP splash screen. I can not start safe mode nor can I access the BIOS settings.

    Care of the Verto seemed to think it would work in my Pavilion - PCIe 2.0, at least 300W PSU. I searched online for help but can't find a solution for my problem.

    Any tips?

    I checked the support page for my Pavlillion and I noticed a updated driver for my computer's BIOS. I installed and it seems to have solved the problem.

    Start using your recovery disk, if you don't have not only you can buy one at HP.  Looks like your windows is corrupted and will need a re - install.
