Good day,

Follow this steps

1. When you switch ON your computer, start tapping the "F8" key to get
"Windows Advanced Options"( if boot menu appears, press "Esc" key and
keep tapping the F8 key)

2. Select the option "Last Known Good Configuration".
If the problem still exists then follow the step 1 and this time select the option
"Safe Mode". Check if you are able to boot into Safe Mode.

That might work if the OP gets a blank screen in Windows. But I'm afraid he gets a blank screen immediately when booting (in stead of the normal BIOS POST-screen and such. That's a hardware issue, not a Windows issue.
