Hmm,that's a weird one.

There are some problems with Microsoft Updates that mess things up and can prevent the system from starting.

If that is the case, you can try:

-Windows 7-
Boot from Windows DVD, choose repair options (under Advanced I believe) and try System Restore to an earlier date.

-Windows 8-
Force shutdown a couple of times so Windows notices something is wrong and goes into repair mode. If not even reaching there: boot from DVD and select Refresh install, which won't delete all your files/programs, only OS files.

(above is from top of my head, so might be slightly different)

Hope it helps..
