I am updating my computer with update that says "it is important because of the security issues that some computers can take over my computer" and I thought it was finish but my computer restarts and I encountered the death blue screen. I can't switch into safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with Command Prompt Last Known good configuration or any mode available. I don't know how to solve this problem because I can't get into any of the modes and even I inserted the installation disc I can't still see any repair computer or what. It will just turn to blank screen with space at the upper left after if i will insert the installation disc. Please help me. I really need your help.

I'm confused that's why I double post..I really need help because it is my first time to encounter this problem. I don't know exactly what is happening to my computer right now. Well, thank you so much for giving me answers:)

If there is no way to start the computer, I would remove the HD, put it in another computer and then find out what caused the Blue Screen. The information is on a minidmp.

But do not do that yet. I have given the information to our Forum expert. It may be a little while, but you will be helped.
