Windows 7 crashed after update wont even open in safe mode

I decided to update itunes and install icloud panel this morning, following a restart request after installing, my laptop failed to startup displaying a blank screen.
Switch laptop off and then on again and it performed a startup failure program ... this failed to repair and when I switch on now its just a black screen. I have tried f8 after start up still nothing.

Is there anyone that can offer advice and help please?

    Yes, if it won't load then shut down and try to start in Safe Mode.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
