I am running Windows 8.1, and this morning I was prompted to reboot. I have been putting it off for a few days and it would no longer allow me to postpone. I restarted adding the updates and now when I boot I get nothing but a black screen. I can get to the bios, but not safe mode / windows recovery screen. The windows logo never comes up and hitting F8 nor shift + F8 does anything, due to the fact that I don't think windows exists in a non-corrupted state.

Is there anything I can do, other than going to someone else's house / computer and creating a boot disk / flash drive?

  • Use the Windows recovery disk you didn't bother to make. ;) Sep 16, 2014 at 13:07
  • Yes the problem now is getting somewhere I can create it. iPhones don't have a USB drive lol.

1st of all, try running Windows in safe mode see more about

After you boot in safe mode, Windows should load the default drivers for the video card.

If Windows is running in safe mode, you have a driver issue. You can try this driver - http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/73218

not sure if it will work...
