Windows Update has fried my PC, help!
So, I woke up yesterday and shot to the top of my HP Touchsmart 610, running Windows 7. I have had this PC for more than 4 years, never had a problem. He began to install updates to windows, and then when he got to my login screen, he began to blink very rapidly. The slider is 'thinking', and it never gives me the opportunity to enter my credentials. When I restart, I try to start in safe mode, same thing, screen just flashes faster. I called technical support Windows and after about 30
minutes, he said, the only option I have is to do a reset on my system, but I can lose all my files. This isn't cool Microsoft! He also said that they are aware of the issues. I tried every fix I could find on the net, nothing works. By pressing F1 - F12, nothing all that, nothing works. Technology also said that I can bring my PC to someone back up before you reset, how can happen if I can't start the computer? Someone please help, I have work to do and very important to save files!
Here's another method:
- Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
- Start the computer with your system repair CD. If you do not have one, ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore. It takes less than five minutes.
- Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
- Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
- Select 'Repair' when prompted.
- When you are prompted, select System Restore.
- Configure Windows to a point before the botched automatic update.
