Since you suspect a hardware issue, try a DOS boot diskette. Does that boot?
If this is a software issue, let that discussion take place in the matching OS forum. But my thought is if you press reset or such during install (not the download) phase of any update, you may get to reinstall the OS.

Hi,
I interrupted Microsoft's latest update and after rebooting, I get a black screen. I managed to access Windows after physically unplugging the monitor and the battery, but Windows freezes every time.
Anybody has an idea on how to fix this problem?
Thanks
