I just updated my drivers and my computer installed a windows update, but now it won't start. It gets to the Dell screen and that's it. I tried looking up a solution on Google and can't find one. I have Windows 8 btw. Posting this from my phone.

Pressing f8 doesn't do anything.
EDIT: All right. I solved the problem.

Just for future reference, I suggest you avoid installing driver updates through Windows Update. They don't always offer the latest version of the driver there, and in some cases they even offer the wrong driver. On one of my old systems, installing the network driver through that would actually disable the network adapter. I guess in your case, something else was disabled. I'm kinda curious what it was for it to stop a boot, lol.
Drivers are best obtained through the PC manufacturer directly (Dell) or from component manufacturers themselves (AMD for the GPU driver, Intel for the chipset drivers, etc).
