System Restore

After some update on 3/11 (not Windows - auto turned off) I cannot use System
Restore to go back to a workable system. I'm using Windows Ultimate.
Several System Restore point tries do not work and I get an error message.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Also have corrupted my video picture after Window updates today.
My computer is dying.
Please offer suggestions.
Thanks for your help.
