PC died after Windows updates.

[Chaicho]

After some updates I was jus browsing and suddenly it turns off like never before.

 I see all sorts of horizontal colored lines and then it shut off.

I turned it back on but it seems as if the outlay of windows disappeared, all I see is black and the cursor which I can move freely. I tried restarting it several times.

Also, after the updates I also updated my gpu  driver so I'm not really sure what the problem was.

I don't know what the problem is it sounds like a gpu driver behaving badly 

 

Your best option is to reinstall windows

What! There has to be something else.

The first part, that being the horizontal lines, sounds more like a GPU driver or even hardware problem and less like a problem with windows. The part about windows being only a cursor is a very frequent problem to some people but also can be caused by a variety of other problems. I would recommend completely turning off the computer and then unplugging the computer and letting it sit for a few minutes. Try turning the computer on after that and it should go directly to windows. I would also recommend leaving it to sit fora few minutes. Sometimes its just caused by a problem with windows booting.

Take out your GPU, and run off integrated graphics.

then, use DDU to uninstall the drivers you have, and shutdown.

then, put your GPU back in, and reinstall drivers.

 

that should fix any driver issues.

Well if they appeared right after the driver updated then it's definetly not a hardware thing its defiently a driver problem.
