Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

I just don't understand this. I got the OS disk from Dell, exactly what I needed - Operating System (Already Installed On Your Computer) Reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I just spent almost 2 hours going through the repair install, was 2/3 of the way through and I left the...

Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

Thank you I will make sure it has SP1. I hope they get it right because I sure could use an "easy button" right now. Power was out for about 15 hours last night/today, so I couldn't even try anything until they got it back on. :thud:

Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

No uninstall button for SP1 and from the date it looks like it was installed before shipping but I haven't tried the command prompt method yet...since I haven't been able to install any updates for 8 weeks now I'm really worried that I won't be able to reinstall SP1 and not sure what problems...

Yes, my external backup drives are USB and one is a WD. The Dell monitor driver should be for my new monitor, but I went Dell - LG - Dell, and I didn't need to install a new driver for the new monitor.

No luck. Thank you for sticking with me on this, I'm so frustrated because it just happened out of the blue.

Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

Well we can rule out the monitor. New monitor installed and I tried installing the standalone version of KB3033890 you had posted here and I still get the exact same problem, monitor goes into sleep mode and windows won't boot. And it took 5 tries before I could successfully do a system restore...

Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

It was on the list of things to do eventually anyway, this just made it a priority. I'm self-employed so no co-workers and chasing down friends would most likely take longer than just buying a new one. My current monitor won't wake from sleep mode unless I unplug it and plug back in most of the...

Windows Update mess, black screen of death when running any restore/repair options

Well I was hoping to avoid dropping $500 on a new monitor but the problem sure does seem to somehow involve my current monitor so I don't think there's any avoiding it. I checked a couple days ago to verify that all of my drivers are all up to date. I'm going back to my preferred brand. The new...

It installed and configured without a problem, then when continuing to boot into Windows computer hung again. Again I tried leaving it alone while monitor was dark hoping it was running in the background but no go. Took me three attempts (one Startup Repair, two Safe Mode) before I could get a...
