what happens if you try to start in "safe mode"?

If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

You can try restoring the computer to a checkpoint prior the the problems inception.

Good Luck

It appears that the video chip/card driver is at fault if you must use the generic VGA driver. Sometimes the Windows update can download a driver that does not work with you hardware. You can probably revert to an older version of the driver.
