Hey guys, this will probably be overlooked like usual but regardless here's the issue.

 

My system recently forced an update on boot which I knew would completely break everything, I don't know why, I had this in the past.

 

So what's happening is it boots as normal gets to the windows logo with the swirly dots gets past that to where the login screen should be and I see nothing but a black screen, however it's not a normal black screen, I move the mouse and the mouse appears but nothing else happens.

 

Also another weird issue. I force it into recovery environment to roll back the update but the password I use to access the account to login isn't working so I can't do anything, I tried all of my passwords and nothing works, I don't know why, I use that password for all my conputers so I don't know why it wouldn't work and that account is the only one so it should be Admin regardless so I'm not sure why it isn't allowing me to do it without a password.

 

My specs:

ASUS Rampage 3 Formula R3F

Intel i7 990X Extreme Edition 

24GB DDR3 triple channel

GTX Titan X (Maxwell)

1TB Samsung Evo SDD

Does the mouse move far off screen in any direction? It could be thinking there is another monitor.
If you have a spare drive you could try dropping windows on that to confirm the issue is software.

Have you tried windows startup repair with a recovery USB?
